Michele Mariotti

Coming Up

The bar floor in London, England formed the early conditions of Michele Mariotti’s career, where speed, discipline, and service all sit close together. He first worked as an ice cream bar worker at an ice cream bar in London, England, a role anchored in direct, immediate service. He then became a barback at a club in London, England, a position that depends on pace, awareness, and the ability to stay ahead of the room. From there, the bars at the American Bar, The Savoy in London, England gave him a setting shaped by established standards and a strong house identity. He later moved to bartender at MO Bar in Singapore, carrying that experience into a different market and rhythm. Across those roles, the work sharpened into a style that values clarity, balance, and a controlled degree of surprise. From 2020–2023, Michele served as head of mixology and manager of Century Bar at Gleneagles in Auchterarder, Scotland, where the role widened across both drinks and management. He then became head of bars at Gleneagles in Auchterarder, Scotland (2023–2026), expanding the remit while keeping the same steady approach. Today, Michele is assistant director of food and beverage of Estelle Manor (since 2026), a position that places him across service, leadership, and the wider operation.
