Job description

We are a specialized cocktail lounge looking for fantastic bartenders to join our team.

Every bartender on our team provides exceptional service behind the bar and on the floor. We are looking for hospitality professionals who are equally passionate about creating memorable guest experiences and crafting world class cocktails.

We are a destination for people who love incredible drinks and memorable experiences. Our backbar is filled with rare, high quality spirits from around the world, and our menu features thoughtfully crafted cocktails made with fresh, unique ingredients.

We love technique and we geek out over spirits, but our greatest passion is hospitality.

We are looking for someone who loves connecting with people, discovering exactly what they are craving, and guiding them to their new favorite drink. If you have the skills to make phenomenal cocktails and provide exceptional table service, we would love to meet you.

What Your Day-to-Day Looks Like

• Host the Bar Top: You are the face of our bar. You'll welcome guests, keep the bar top spotless and inviting, and create a warm, friendly atmosphere for everyone who sits down.
• Guide Our Guests: Not everyone knows what they want to drink! You'll chat with clients, ask the right questions about their flavor preferences, and excitedly guide them through our rare spirits and unique menu offerings.
• Craft Incredible Drinks: You'll use your refined techniques to shake, stir, and build high-quality craft cocktails, ensuring every drink that crosses the bar is consistent and delicious.
• Share Your Knowledge: You’ll get to talk about the things you love, educating our guests on unique ingredients and rare spirits in a way that is fun, approachable, and totally unpretentious.

What We’re Looking For

• A Hospitality-First Mindset: You genuinely enjoy taking care of people and believe that great service is even more important than a great drink (though you strive to provide both!).
• Solid Bar Experience: You have experience in a quality cocktail program and confidently provide exceptional table service. You enjoy moving between the bar and dining room, working wherever you can create the best experience for your guests and teammates.
• A Thirst for Knowledge: You have a deep, genuine interest in spirits and are always excited to learn more about new bottles, categories, and flavor combinations.
• Great Energy: You are friendly, approachable, and able to strike up a conversation with anyone—from the cocktail connoisseur to the absolute beginner.
