Job description

BARTENDER – Craft the Drinks. Read the Room. Deliver Social Therapy.

At Colton’s Social House, bartending is about more than what goes into the glass. It’s about what happens around it. Great drinks bring people to the bar; great hospitality gives them a reason to stay, connect, celebrate, unwind, and come back. That’s Social Therapy.

Our Bartenders bring it to life through thoughtfully crafted cocktails, local and craft beer, genuine hospitality, and the ability to read the room. Some guests want a recommendation. Some want conversation. Some are celebrating. Others just want to unwind.

A great bartender knows the difference—and knows how to deliver an exceptional experience while keeping up with a busy bar.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Craft our specialty cocktails and classic drinks accurately, consistently, and efficiently.

• Learn our food, cocktail, and rotating beer programs so you can make thoughtful recommendations.

• Provide genuine, attentive service while building connections with guests.

• Balance bar-top hospitality with executing beverages for the entire restaurant.

• Maintain a clean, stocked, and organized bar throughout your shift.

• Practice responsible alcohol service and follow all applicable policies and procedures.

• Communicate and work closely with Servers, Barbacks, Kitchen team members, and Management.

• Notice where help is needed and step in—at Colton’s, there is no “that’s not my job.”

• Handle guest concerns professionally and take ownership of making things right.

• Protect the quality and consistency of every drink and every guest experience.

COMPENSATION & SCHEDULING

In addition to hourly pay, Bartenders receive:

• Daily cash tips earned through direct guest service

• Additional weekly cash earnings based on restaurant sales and tip-outs

Full-Time and Part-Time opportunities are available. Evening, weekend, and holiday availability is expected.

Schedules are posted every Friday for the workweek beginning the second Monday after posting, giving our team advance notice to plan around their work schedule.

LOOKING TO GROW BEHIND THE BAR?

Bartender is not an entry-level bar position at Colton’s, and previous bartending experience is required. If you’re interested in learning the craft, expanding your beverage knowledge, and developing toward a future Bartender role, we encourage you to apply for our Barback position.
