Job description

About Mammoth Fieldhouse

Mammoth Fieldhouse is where Southern Illinois comes to get off the bench. Pure Putt. Flight Deck. Pickleball. Battle Bats. A scratch kitchen and a full bar that would draw a crowd on their own. Open play, leagues, tournaments, and private events, all night, every night.

Three rules run our buildings: No Sidelines, No Spectators. Elite Isn't Exclusive. Competition Is Community. Everyone plays, everyone belongs, and a good time beats a good score. We do not shout. We cheer. There is a big difference, and everybody who works here learns it fast.

About the Role

Three bars, two buildings, one standard: every drink the same way, every time, fast.

Marion runs three bars: two in the Main Building and one in the Pickleball Building. You run your well for the bar top and the service well for the cocktail servers at the same time, and you make the bar the place people want to stand.

We are a game venue with a bar that would draw a crowd on its own. We want bartenders who take that personally.

The pour

• Build every drink to spec, every time, at speed.
• Know the menu cold: beer, wine, cocktails, and zero proof. Recommend, upsell, and make it look easy.
• Own your ticket times, tabs, POS accuracy, and cash handling.

The bar

• Open and close your bar to standard: stocked, clean, sanitized, and logged.
• Work with your barback to keep par levels full before a rush, not during one.
• Protect pour cost. Measure, track waste, and log every spill and comp.

Responsible service

• Check ID every time, for anyone who looks under 40.
• Know the signs of over service, slow it down early, and bring in a manager when it matters.

Your First Year

• First 30 Days: You are certified on your bar and can run a full Saturday without help.
• First Year: You are training new bartenders, and the bar lead path is open to you.

What You Bring

• 1 or more years of bartending in a high volume bar or restaurant.
• Speed with accuracy under pressure.
• Real cocktail skill, from classics to our house menu.
• Cash handling and POS experience.
• Availability for nights, weekends, and holidays.

Certifications

Required

• 21 years of age or older, with a current Illinois BASSET certification.
• Food handler training through an ANSI accredited program, completed within 30 days of hire. Illinois requires it. Valid three years.

A plus if you already have it

• CPR and AED certification through the American Heart Association or American Red Cross.
• Allergen awareness training.

Preferred

• Opening team experience.
• Craft cocktail or high volume event bar experience.
• Bilingual in English and Spanish.

Working Conditions

• Extended periods of standing, walking, and moving throughout the venue for a full shift.
• Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds.
• Loud, high-energy environment with variable lighting.
• Nights, weekends, and holidays are our busiest shifts. Availability for them is required.

What We Offer

• $9.00 per hour plus tips. Tips are yours. No tip out.
• Accrued paid time off. Every hour you work earns time toward it, and you can use it for any reason. You do not have to tell us why.
• Christmas Club. A deferred payroll program. If you choose to participate, $15.00 comes out of each weekly check and is combined with a $5.00 contribution from ownership. Funds are disbursed only on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
• Paid training. Every teammate starts with in-person training, on the clock, before working a solo shift.
• A real path up. We fill trainer, shift lead, and manager roles from inside the building first.
• A part-time schedule built around two shifts: morning to mid, and mid to close.

Mammoth Fieldhouse Marion is an equal opportunity employer. We hire on merit, character, and the ability to make people feel like they belong here. Elite isn't exclusive. Everyone plays.

Illinois law: we do not ask for your salary history, and we do not ask about criminal history before you have been selected for an interview.
