Job description

Bartender fulltime - Shape the bar at Hobo Copenhagen

You know your craft. You care about what goes into the glass, how a bar runs and how people feel when they walk through the door. You understand that a warm welcome, eye contact and genuine attention can set the tone for an entire evening. Now you’re ready to help build something new.

We’re looking for experienced bartenders to join Hobo Copenhagen in a full-time position, with a primary focus on our new cocktail bar. You’ll help develop a bar with its own identity, where cocktails, music and warm, confident hospitality come together.

Your main home will be in the cocktail bar, while you’ll also work alongside the teams in our all-day bar and restaurant & bar. We’re building one F&B team, with shared standards and a willingness to support each other.

Your craft. Your responsibility.

Working closely with the Bar & Restaurant Manager and the wider F&B team, you will:

Help develop and refine our cocktail offering, contributing ideas, testing recipes and translating the concept into drinks that work consistently during service.

Take ownership of your shifts, from preparation and station setup to handovers and closing, keeping the team organised and the bar ready for the next service.

Work confidently with batching, dilution, temperature and presentation, understanding how preparation supports both quality and time with guests.

Make every first impression count: acknowledge guests as they arrive, read the room and bring warmth and genuine attention to each interaction.

Maintain control of stock, rotation, waste and product quality, and contribute to ordering and stocktaking.

Share knowledge with colleagues and help strengthen beverage standards across our outlets.

What you bring

You have solid cocktail experience from one of Copenhagen’s leading bars, or a similarly ambitious bar elsewhere.

Just as importantly, you take responsibility. You notice what needs doing, follow through and support the people around you. You can deliver during a busy service while still making time to welcome guests, guide them through the menu and help them feel at home.

You enjoy working in a team, communicate confidently in English and are comfortable working evenings, nights and weekends. A particular interest in spirits, fermentation or another part of the beverage world is welcome.

What you’ll be part of

At Hobo, we bring a professional, passionate and playful approach to hospitality. We want high standards to feel natural, personal and welcoming.

You’ll join during the opening journey, with the opportunity to influence the drinks, routines and team culture from the beginning. We offer close collaboration with the F&B leadership team, room to contribute and colleagues who care about their craft.

Hobo Copenhagen is part of Strawberry, alongside hotels such as Admiral Hotel and Villa Copenhagen. We bring our own personality to that wider hospitality family, with access to development opportunities, staff hotel rates and food and beverage benefits.

• food and beverage benefits

First impressions matter to us, and we’d love to get a sense of the person behind the CV. Tell us where you’ve worked, what you care about in a bar and how you make a guest feel welcome from the very first interaction. Bring the same warmth and personality you would bring to meeting someone across the bar.

The practical details

Start date: February 2027.

Working hours: Varied shifts, including evenings, nights and weekends.

We review applications and meet candidates on an ongoing basis, and the position may be filled before the application deadline.
