Mark McClintock

Mark is a bartender and hospitality consultant based in London. He started his career in Ireland but really fell in love with the industry during his time studying music and composition at King’s College London. 

Mark was part of the opening team of Chotto Matte in Soho where through an incredible training programme he stepped away from pulling pints at a student union bar and learnt the depths and complexity of cocktail bartending. He continued this love of cocktail making after completing his studies and worked in various venues in the UK including Call Me Mr Lucky and Peg + Patriot where he expanded his knowledge of flavour and drinks creation.

Mark has worked as a drink stylist for brands and publications including Henry Jeffreys’, ‘The Home Bar’ and Tom Bullock’s, ‘The Mezcal Experience.’.

In 2019 Mark won the inaugural ‘Britain’s Best Tequila Cocktail Competition’, ran by Hacha Bar. He was awarded a trip to Mexico where he expanded his love and knowledge of agave spirits.

In 2021 Mark combined his love of cocktail creation and talent as a pianist to earn himself a place in World Class GB’s top 8 where he went on to be crowned the World Class GB Bartender of the Year.
