Australia’s bar community is in turmoil after the news that Pierre Fajloun, bar manager of Ivy‘s Level 6 died in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday evening.
Pierre was much loved by the bartending community and was renowned for his incredibly warm hospitality and enthusiasm behind the bar. Apart from his fine work with Sydney’s Merivale group Pierre was also a trainer for Diageo’s Alchemy program, the winner of several bartending accolades and had been featured numerous times in bar trade titles including Bartender magazine and 4bars.com.au
A memorial service is being held this coming Saturday 9 October, 9am at St Nicholas Antioch Orthodox Church, 11 Henry Street, Punchbowl, New South Wales.
Pierre was just 26 years of age.

No way this cannot be, a bloody damn shame, be at rest Pierre, my deepest regards
This was such a shock to hear as I only just saw Pierre two weeks ago at Sydney Barshow. His reputation was such that even in little Adelaide we had heard of his bartending skills. It’s sad to have such a bright and gifted person, let alone a talented bartender taken away from us. My deepest sympathies go out to Pierre’s family, friends and workmates
I can’t believe this… I’m still in shock!
Rest in peace mate, I’ll see you on the other side!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will miss such an amazing person, smart, always smiling and friendly. With love from London Francesco Turrini
