Job description

Now Hiring: Experienced Bartender — Mariposa, CA

We are seeking an experienced, dependable Bartender to join our restaurant team in Mariposa, California. Our bar is located in a dedicated bar area separate from the dining room and operates primarily during daytime and early evening hours.

This role requires the ability to confidently manage solo bar shifts, particularly during slower tourist seasons, while providing friendly and efficient service to both locals and visitors. When the restaurant is busy, the bartender may also be responsible for running food to bar guests and assisting as needed to ensure timely service.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working independently, preparing quality cocktails, maintaining a clean and organized bar, handling cash accurately, and stepping in to support overall restaurant operations when needed.

Hours and volume vary seasonally based on tourism. This position is best suited for someone who enjoys a steady daytime bar atmosphere rather than a late-night bar scene.
