Job description

Description

Bring your personality. Elevate the experience. Learn the craft.

Cherokee Town & Country Club, one of the nation’s premier private clubs, is seeking a Main Bar Cocktail Server to join our team in our newly renovated entertainment space at our Town Club in Buckhead.

This isn’t your typical cocktail serving position. You’ll work in an elevated, high-energy environment where exceptional service, genuine connections, and beverage knowledge come together. Whether you already have experience with craft cocktails or are ready to take your beverage skills to the next level, this is an opportunity to grow your craft while delivering the personalized hospitality Cherokee is known for.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

Steady Income — No Tipping Guesswork: Earn $19.00/hour, non-tipped, giving you consistent, predictable income regardless of how busy the night may be.

A Better Hospitality Schedule: Work primarily Tuesday–Saturday, with Sundays and Mondays off. Our Main Bar closes at 11:00 p.m., which means you can enjoy the energy of evening hospitality without routinely working until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning.

Learn the Art of Mixology: Work alongside our beverage professionals and gain hands‑on exposure to classic cocktails, premium spirits, wine service, fresh ingredients, garnishes, syrups, and elevated presentation.

More Than Taking Orders: Our members return because of the experience. You’ll have the opportunity to learn their preferences, make thoughtful recommendations, build genuine relationships, and help create a Main Bar experience they look forward to returning to.

Requirements

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a Main Bar Cocktail Server, you’ll partner closely with our Lead Mixologist and bar team to provide seamless, attentive service.

You will:

• Provide a warm, polished welcome to members and their guests while delivering attentive, personalized service.
• Take food and beverage orders while confidently making recommendations based on member preferences.
• Develop your knowledge of wine, beer, spirits, and classic cocktails while learning the art and technique behind exceptional mixology.
• Assist with preparing and serving cocktails using proper techniques, glassware, garnishes, and presentation.
• Deliver proper wine and beverage service while maintaining Cherokee's high standards of hospitality.
• Become familiar with menus, daily specials, wine selections, and featured beverages.
• Work collaboratively with the bar and service teams to keep service smooth and responsive during high-volume periods.
• Bring energy, personality, professionalism, and attention to detail to every interaction.
• Help create the memorable moments and genuine connections that make the Cherokee experience special.

Requirements

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for someone who enjoys hospitality and understands that great service is about more than delivering a drink.

Our ideal candidate brings:

• Previous serving, bartending, or beverage experience in a restaurant, bar, club, hotel, or hospitality environment.
• Knowledge of wine, beer, spirits, and classic cocktails.
• A friendly, confident, and professional presence.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage comfortably with members and guests.
• The ability to remain composed, organized, and attentive in a fast‑paced environment.
• Genuine curiosity and a desire to continue developing beverage and mixology knowledge.
• Availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as scheduled.
• Ability to remain on your feet for extended periods, bend, climb stairs, and lift/carry approximately 25–50 pounds.
• ServSafe certification is preferred.
• Must be at least 18 years of age.
