Job description

We’re looking for an experienced Bartender who knows their way around a cocktail, loves good hospitality, and is just as comfortable chatting with guests at the bar as looking after them on the floor.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Shaking, stirring and pouring seriously good cocktails.
• Moving between the bar and floor to deliver great service from start to finish.
• Getting to know our premium tequila and mezcal range and sharing that knowledge with guests.
• Keeping the bar organised, stocked and ready for service.
• Working closely with the team to keep things flowing on busy nights.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Solid cocktail and bartending experience.
• Confidence, personality and genuine guest engagement.
• Someone who enjoys a fast-paced, intimate bar environment.
• An interest in premium spirits. Agave knowledge is a bonus, but we can teach you.
• A reliable team player who brings a great attitude to every shift.
