Bed & Breakfast Bartender

Bartender

Stanton House Inn Greenwich, CT $22–$24/hour based on experience Full-Time or Part-Time

This isn't a high-volume bar job. It's closer to being the person who sets the tone for the evening — welcoming guests into a beautifully curated lounge, making thoughtful drinks, creating a great first impression, and knowing how to make people feel at home.

We're building a bar/lounge experience that reflects where we are: local, welcoming, and intentional. That means excellent cocktails, a strong non-alcoholic program, and service that feels personal instead of rushed. If that sounds like work you'd be good at, keep reading.

What You'll Do

A typical shift focuses on opening the lounge, preparing service, making drinks, and creating a relaxed, polished guest experience. You'll work closely with the inn team to support a smooth handoff between daytime operations, evening lounge service, and any special events or private gatherings.
