About Andrea Tateosian

Andrea Tateosian has worked in hospitality since high school, and for the past decade, it has been her full-time vocation. After graduating from college, she split her time between a full-time role in anti-money laundering and bartending at the acclaimed Washington, D.C. speakeasy The Gibson. After four years of balancing both, she made the decision to pursue hospitality full-time.

Andrea is currently a bartender at Spain Restaurant in Cranston, Rhode Island. Prior to relocating, she spent 14 years in Washington, D.C., where she most recently served as Lead Bartender at the award-winning bar Silver Lyan. Her approach behind the bar is warm, detail-oriented, and light-hearted—centered around creating genuine moments of connection.

From 2016 to 2021, Andrea served as President of the independent DC Craft Bartenders Guild. During her tenure, she prioritized expanding learning opportunities, organizing fundraisers, and evolving the organization to better reflect and support its growing community. Among her proudest accomplishments is establishing the Noobie Competition in 2017, which continues to support and spotlight emerging bartending talent. Community and intentionality remain at the core of Andrea’s hospitality philosophy.
