Thomas Colombo

I am 33 years old, Italian and passionate in every single bone of my body about my job, I am confident and motivated with an outgoing personality and a passion for working in busy environments.

I love making drinks and especially cocktails, but my favourite thing in the bar is serving my guest, the true king of the bar, and this lead me to continuosly improve the guest experience, the feeling of being cared, with a unique and personal service.

I have enjoyed a lot of experience in busy bars, restaurants and Hotels in Italy, London, Spain, Ireland and Australia before moving to England in 2006 where I have since worked in Chester, Liverpool, Nottingham and Derby working as Bar Manager and Mixologist. I have a lot of experience in the catering industry and I also design menus for restaurants and bars in Italy and Britain.

At the moment I work as a Barmanager and mixologist for Finesse Collection in East Midlands, managing Bar Sixteen cocktail bar and Lounge in Derby, working hard on keeping the standard as higher as possible, with an eye on the molecular mixology where the best bars in the world are heading, and in my heart the pure passion for old school and well made cocktails, with fresh products and best spirits are on the market.


I work as well as independent professional known as probably the BEST cocktail bartender EVER for hire, giving top standard VIP cocktail service in any place you would like to do a cocktail parties, masterclasses and spirit tastings for any personal celebration.



I love what I do, and this makes me smile, and passion is the main ingredient in all my drinks!!!
