Pay: £14.75 per hour OTE (base pay plus tronc)
Contract: Full-time / part-time available

Nineteen floors up. Just opened. Looking for you.

Alto Nineteen is Canary Wharf’s newest rooftop restaurant and bar. It sits on Level 19 of Locke Canary Wharf, the London skyline stretches out beyond the windows, and there’s a buzz in the room from the first drink of the night to the last. We opened our doors in October 2026, and now we’re building the bar team that will define what Alto becomes.

The kitchen, led by chef Chris Dargavel, cooks modern Mediterranean food, and the bar matches it: bright, seasonal, ingredient-led drinks made with real craft. As a rooftop bartender in Canary Wharf, you’ll get in early on something new and help shape its personality.

What you’ll be doing

• Crafting signature and classic cocktails with precision and flair
• Serving wine, spirits, beer and low/no options to a premium standard
• Guiding guests through the drinks list and pairing with the Mediterranean menu
• Creating a warm, high-energy atmosphere that keeps the room coming back
• Keeping the bar immaculate, stocked and service-ready
• Working closely with our Bar Manager, Josh, and the wider restaurant team

Who we’re looking for

• Experience in a cocktail bar, rooftop venue, hotel bar or premium restaurant
• Passion for great drinks and genuine curiosity about flavour
• Natural warmth, confidence and a talent for reading guests
• Speed and accuracy under pressure without losing the polish
• Availability for evenings and weekends
• Someone excited to grow with a brand-new opening

What’s in it for you

• £14.75 per hour OTE, including tronc
• Ongoing training in cocktails, wine and Mediterranean pairing
• A seat at the table in a brand-new opening, with room to influence the bar programme
• Progression as Alto Nineteen grows
• Team meals on shift
• Easy access via the Jubilee line, Elizabeth line and DLR at Canary Wharf
