Job description

Current job opportunities are posted here as they become available.

Chef David LeFevre has carved a niche in Manhattan Beach with eclectic, chef driven restaurants focusing on soulful food, engaging service, hand crafted cocktails and boutique wine selections. After opening Manhattan Beach Post in April 2011 and Fishing With Dynamite in April 2013, we are looking to recruit skilled, highly passionate, experienced and motivated Bartenders/Mixologistsfor our newly opened concept: The Arthur J.

A qualified Bartender/Mixology Candidate will possess a minimum of 3 years bartending experience behind a bar focusing on hand crafted cocktails, micro-brewed beer and a nuanced wine program. A candidate should maintain that Guest interaction and service is FIRST among all things. He/She is a perfectionist and craftsman… skilled at building the perfect Sazerac or achieving perfect balance in a Hemmingway Daiquiri while still being able to be flexible and create a cocktail on the fly when a Guest asks for something with basil, gin, lemon juice and pink peppercorn that maintains impeccable flavor harmony. We expect the right candidate also to possess the same passion and knowledge in food as our qualified server candidates. Candidates for all positions will possess humility, respect and integrity.

A flexible dinner time availability is required. Most of all we are looking for individuals passionate about hospitality and relationship building. If you’re a bartender who also believes in the integrity of a well constructed, hand-crafted/from-scratch made cocktail than you’re exactly what we’re looking for.
