Job description

We’re looking for a Bartender to join our team across three diverse Queenstown venues: Margo’s, Little Blackwood and Little Mez.

You’ll have a main venue to call home, with the flexibility to pick up shifts at the other two when required. It’s a chance to build strong team connections while exploring different menus, developing your skills and keeping things interesting.

Three venues, each with their own personality

Margo’s: Big flavours, flowing margaritas and a buzzing atmosphere. Be part of the team bringing our colourful Mexican-inspired restaurant to life.

Little Blackwood: Exceptional cocktails with a waterfront backdrop. Learn from the team behind New Zealand’s Best Bar (HNZ Awards 2026).

Little Mez: Head underground for tequila, mezcal and cocktails with character. Build your spirits knowledge in our intimate Cow Lane bar.

We’re part of Future Hospitality Group, a locally owned business with six unique venues and one shared goal: to keep raising the standard of hospitality in Queenstown.

Whether you’re experienced behind the bar or ready for your next step, you’ll have opportunities to learn, grow and bring your personality to every shift.

What you’ll be doing

• Preparing and serving beers, wines, spirits and cocktails with consistency and care.
• Delivering genuine, personalised hospitality that keeps guests coming back.
• Learning our menus and building your cocktail knowledge.
• Working at your main venue and supporting the other two when required.
• Keeping the bar clean, organised and service-ready.
• Creating a welcoming atmosphere while maintaining high standards of service and host responsibility.

About you

You enjoy looking after people, take pride in great service and work well with different teams.

You’ll also have:

• Previous bar experience preferred.
• Cocktail experience is a bonus, but we’ll teach you.
• A positive attitude and willingness to learn.
• The ability to stay calm during busy service.
• Evening and weekend availability, with flexibility to work across all three venues.

Why work with us

• A main venue to call home, plus variety across two more.
• 50% off food and drinks across all six FHG venues, plus selected partner discounts.
• Free hospitality training and genuine opportunities to grow.
• Discounted Pilates memberships, wellbeing initiatives, retail discounts and financial wellbeing support.
• Industry-rate ski passes to make the most of winter.
• A team passionate about great drinks, great people and memorable experiences.

If you’re looking for variety, room to grow and a team you’ll be proud to join, we’d love to hear from you.
