Job description

Bartender — Bar Mezzo

Seasonal | $12/hr + Tips | St. Petersburg, FL

About Bar Mezzo

Bar Mezzo is a neighborhood cocktail bar with a higher bar. We believe great hospitality and an exceptional cocktail program aren't mutually exclusive — our drinks hold their own against any bar in a major city, but our doors are open to everyone. The room is dark, the music is right, and the standard is high. We take the craft seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.

The Role

We're looking for a bartender who can do both — execute a sophisticated cocktail program with precision and speed, and make every guest feel like the most important person in the room. This isn't a service job with a cocktail menu. It's a hospitality role where the drinks happen to be exceptional.

You’ll own your bar on any given shift: the craft, the cleanliness, the atmosphere, and the experience.

This is a seasonal role during our Miracle Christmas pop up. Full time positions may be available after the season but this is not guaranteed.

What You’ll Do

• Execute Bar Mezzo's full cocktail menu with consistency, accuracy, and speed
• Provide genuine, guest-first hospitality — read the room, adjust your pace, make people feel welcome
• Serve wine and beer alongside our cocktail program
• Complete opening and closing duties with ownership and attention to detail
• Keep your bar clean, stocked, and running ahead of the night — not behind it

What We’re Looking For

• Prior cocktail bar experience required — you know your way around a spec and can execute under pressure
• A genuine love of hospitality — the craft matters, but so does the guest in front of you
• Someone who reads a room and responds to it — the energy of a Tuesday is different from a Saturday, and you know how to match both
• A team-first attitude — you set the tone for the people working alongside you
• Must be 21 or older
• Weekend availability required

Compensation & Details

• $12/hour + tips
• Seasonal
• Located in St. Petersburg, Florida

Why Bar Mezzo

You’ll work in one of St. Pete's most respected cocktail programs, alongside a team that cares about what ends up in the glass — and how it gets there. There's room here to grow, contribute, and be part of something that's already made its mark.
