Overview

Job Title: Bartender – TGI Fridays

Location: Various UK Locations

Contract: Part-Time/Full-Time | Evening and Weekend Availability Required

Now Casting: Bartenders at TGI Fridays

Where Every Shift Is Showtime

You know who we are. The iconic red and white stripes. The cocktails that became legends. The walls steeped in stories and the energy of a brand born in the golden age of flair — New York City, 1965.

We set the stage for fun, freedom, and a little theatrical sparkle. We invented the Long Island Iced Tea. We created the Loaded Potato Skins. We didn’t follow the script — we wrote it. Now, we’re inviting new performers to join our bar crew.

Your Role: Bartender & Performer

As a TGI Fridays Bartender, you become part of the heartbeat of our restaurant. The bar is your stage — a place where you shake, stir, and serve unforgettable moments. You’ll create the magic behind the bar and deliver the high-energy hospitality that keeps guests coming back.

With flair and finesse, you’ll:

• Serve up bold, vibrant cocktails with confidence and charisma
• Tell the stories behind our signature spirits
• Support your team and keep the energy flowing
• Channel classic Americana into every shift
• Deliver high-impact service that’s always in sync with the moment

No experience? That’s fine. We’ll train you to master the rhythm of our bar and give you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to own the stage.

Evening and weekend availability is essential — the bar comes alive when the lights are low and the crowd is loud.

Your Backstage Benefits

• 100% of gratuities go directly to the team
• Time and a half pay for hours worked beyond 48 per week
• Flexible scheduling to support your lifestyle
• Weekly pay every Friday
• Apprenticeships and fast-track career development
• 50% off food for you and five friends or family members
• Unlimited soft drinks during shifts
• Celebratory team events, including 4th of July and Thanksgiving
• Performance recognition, rewards, and surprise perks
• Referral bonuses and long service awards
• Wagestream access to track and manage earnings in real time
• Membership with Hospitality Action for mental health and wellbeing support
• 28 days paid holiday (pro-rata)

Who We Are

At TGI Fridays, we celebrate individuality. Our “Pridays” inclusion platform and company-wide programmes support and uplift diverse voices and identities — including LGBTQ+ rights, accessibility, and gender equity.

We don’t ask anyone to blend in. We encourage everyone to stand out.

“No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.” – P.T. Barnum
