The Opportunity
We are seeking a Service Bartender to bring our bar and café program to life. This role crafts cocktails, pours wine and beer, and also delivers full food service, all while setting the vibe for guests. They are responsible for preparing beverages and food to spec, engaging guests with genuine hospitality, and keeping the bar and dining area running smoothly.
The ideal candidate is part craftsperson, part host, and part server. They take pride in a perfectly balanced cocktail. They also understand that the drink is only part of the job, and that guiding a guest through the food menu with the same care matters just as much.
They read the room instinctively. They know when a guest wants conversation and when they want to be left alone with their book. They keep multiple drink orders, food orders, tabs, and conversations moving without missing a beat. Confident behind the bar during a Friday night rush, they also bring the operational discipline to manage pours, plate food to standard, track inventory, and uphold responsible service with equal care.
