About Bar Mezzo

Bar Mezzo is a neighborhood cocktail bar with a higher bar. Our cocktail program holds its own against any bar in a major city, and the room we've built matters just as much as the drinks. On weekend nights, the person at the door is the first thing a guest experiences and the last thing they remember.

The Role

The Door Host runs the front of Bar Mezzo on Friday and Saturday nights. You'll greet guests, check IDs, manage the line, hold the room at capacity, and set the tone the moment someone walks in.

This is a hospitality job, not a bouncer job. The goal is to make people feel welcomed and looked after while quietly keeping the room safe and legal. The best door hosts handle situations before they become situations — and most guests never realize anything was managed at all. If you like people, read a room well, and stay calm when someone else isn't, this is your job.

What You'll Do

• Welcome every guest and set the tone for their night


• Check IDs and confidently refuse entry when something isn't right


• Manage the line so it stays orderly, safe, and off neighboring property


• Track occupancy and hold capacity limits, coordinating flow with the Bar Lead


• Read the room and de-escalate before situations become incidents


• Keep the entry, sidewalk, and immediate exterior clear and presentable


• Support last call and a safe, on-time close


• Communicate any incident or concern to the Bar Lead before you leave

What We're Looking For

• Prior door, security, or hospitality experience preferred — if you've worked a floor, a host stand, or a room and you're good with people, we want to talk


• Warm first, firm second — you can say no clearly without turning it into a confrontation


• Calm under pressure and impossible to bait; you never match someone's escalation


• Observant — you notice the thing forming three minutes before it forms


• Reliable — the door can't go uncovered


• Comfortable standing for a full evening shift, indoors and out


• A Florida Class D security license, TIPS or ServSafe Alcohol certification, or CPR/First Aid training is a plus, but none of it is required


• Must be 21 or older

Compensation & Details

• $20/hr


• Part-time — Friday and Saturday nights


• 8pm to close, approximately 12–14 hours per week


• Full time available for holiday season pop up

Why Bar Mezzo

You’ll be the front door of one of St. Pete's most respected cocktail bars — trusted with the guest experience from the first hello, working with a team that cares as much about how the room feels as what's in the glass.
