Lead Line Cook

Full-time

Butcher and the Bear

Bartender Butcher & the Bear | Chicago

At Butcher & the Bear, hospitality comes first.

We are a chef-driven steakhouse focused on exceptional ingredients, thoughtful service, and creating memorable experiences for every guest. From premium steaks and curated wine selections to table-side presentations and craft cocktails, every detail matters.

We are seeking an experienced bartender who is passionate about hospitality, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in their craft.

What You'll Do
  • Deliver warm, engaging hospitality to every guest at the bar and throughout the dining room
  • Prepare classic and contemporary cocktails with consistency and precision
  • Guide guests through our wine, whiskey, and cocktail offerings
  • Collaborate closely with our service and culinary teams to create seamless guest experiences
  • Maintain an organized, clean, and professional bar environment
  • Assist with inventory, prep, and daily operational responsibilities
What We're Looking For
  • Minimum 2 years bartending experience
  • Fine dining, upscale casual, or steakhouse experience preferred
  • Strong knowledge of spirits, cocktails, wine, and beer
  • A genuine passion for hospitality and guest engagement
  • Ability to remain calm, organized, and detail-oriented during busy service
  • Team-first mindset and commitment to excellence
Our Beverage Program

Our beverage program is built around premium wines, rare spirits, creative cocktails, and thoughtful pairings. We believe education is essential to great hospitality and invest heavily in developing our team.

You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Learn from a service team that includes certified wine professionals
  • Participate in ongoing wine, spirits, and hospitality education
  • Develop pairing knowledge for premium steaks, seafood, and seasonal menu offerings
  • Grow your confidence discussing everything from Napa Cabernet and Barolo to Japanese whisky and craft cocktails
What Makes This Opportunity Different

We are building a team of hospitality professionals who want to grow.

Whether your goal is to become a lead bartender, sommelier, manager, or hospitality leader, we are committed to developing talented people who share our passion for the industry.

As part of a growing hospitality group, strong performers will have opportunities for advancement as new concepts and leadership positions become available.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive hourly wage plus tips
  • Employee dining benefits
  • Ongoing education and professional development
  • Advancement opportunities within a growing restaurant group
Who Succeeds Here

The best fit for this role is someone who enjoys talking about wine, whiskey, food, and hospitality as much as they enjoy serving guests. Someone who can recommend a Napa Cabernet, discuss a Japanese whisky, or guide a guest toward the perfect steak pairing—all while making guests feel genuinely welcome.

If you're passionate about hospitality, committed to your craft, and looking to grow with a team that values excellence, we'd love to meet you.

Please submit your resume along with a brief note telling us about your hospitality background and what excites you about joining Butcher & the Bear.
