Job description

At Steelbach, dining is more than a meal it's a celebration of the South's rich culinary heritage, reimagined with bold creativity and timeless warmth. As a Three Oaks Hospitality concept nestled within the iconic Armature Works property, we've built something special: a Southern-inspired kitchen and chophouse where grass-fed beef from Florida's finest producers meets handcrafted dishes rooted in simplicity and soul.

As a Bartender at Steelbach, you're crafting drinks with precision, keeping the energy high, and making every guest feel like a regular from their first order. You'll mix and pour our full beverage menu with speed and consistency, from craft cocktails to beer and wine, while keeping the bar clean, stocked, and running smoothly during our busiest rushes.

This role requires availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays.

• Handle cash and POS transactions accurately and confidently
• Verify identification and use sound judgment to ensure a safe, welcoming environment for every guest
• Submit orders and requisitions to keep the bar fully supplied — anticipating needs before they become gaps
• Stay composed and professional when situations get complicated — your calm is part of the service

What You Bring

• Deep knowledge of spirits, cocktail technique, and bar service
• A natural gift for conversation and reading the room
• Grace under pressure — you don't rattle easily
• Comfort with POS systems (or a willingness to learn fast)
• High school diploma or GED
• Mixology or bartending certification
• 1+ year of bartending experience preferred
• Must be of legal drinking age

Physical Requirements

• Extended periods standing and moving behind the bar
• Ability to lift up to 15 lbs (kegs, crates, cases)
• Fast-paced environment — high energy is welcome here
