Job description

Overview

Circa 11 is Bengaluru’s first shapeshifting dining room - café by day, cocktail bar by night, always in rhythm with the city around us. We’re looking for a bartender who doesn’t just pour drinks, but brings stories to life behind the bar.

What you’ll do

• Craft and serve cocktails, classics and Circa signatures, with precision and flair.
• Experiment with ferments, cordials, and seasonal ingredients to keep the menu evolving.
• Anticipate guest needs - a recommendation, a quick story, or just the perfect pour.
• Keep the bar moving seamlessly with prep, stock management, and service standards.
• Work in rhythm with the floor and kitchen team to create a complete Circa experience.

What we’re looking for

• Previous bar experience (fine dining or high-volume cocktail programs a plus).
• Curiosity about ingredients, techniques, and storytelling through drinks.
• Strong sense of hospitality - attentive, warm, confident without being stiff.
• Ability to thrive under pressure and keep the energy up even on the busiest nights.
• A love for details, from garnish to glassware to guest interactions.

What you’ll find at Circa

• A creative, evolving environment where your ideas are heard.
• Training and mentorship with Chef-driven philosophy and a boundary-pushing cocktail program.
• A team that values rhythm, collaboration, and unreasonable love.
• Competitive pay, team meals, and growth opportunities within Harithsa Hospitality.

If you think you’re the kind of bartender who can shake, stir, and shapeshift with us, apply here or drop us a note.

With unreasonable love,

The folk of Circa 11
