Responsibilities

As a Bartender - Catering and Events (Seasonal or Permanent), these are the results you'll be hired to accomplish:

? Quick & Accurate Drink Execution

Mix and serve drinks quickly and accurately, maintaining quality and consistency throughout the event.

? Smooth, Guest-First Bar Service

Deliver a warm, welcoming bar experience that keeps guests happy, lines moving, and the energy high all night.

? Efficient Bar Setup & Breakdown

Set up the event bar efficiently at the start and break it down completely at the end, leaving the space clean and better than we found it.

? Clean & Organized Event Bar

Keep your bar area clean, organized, and stocked at all times during the event.

Pay

We pay a base wage of $18.00 - $20.00 per hour, plus tips. Base wage depends on relevant experience. Tips are based on your level of hospitality, events worked, and how busy the bar is - the busier, the better! Tips are shared amongst the bar staff at that event.

Work Schedule

This position can be part-time or full-time, with a flexible schedule designed around the demands of our catered events. All-day, 10-12 hour weekend shifts are most common. Weekday shifts are also available, but typically reserved for full-time employees.

Will You Fit In Here?

Our team has been built - brick by brick - on shared core values. And no, they're not just bullsh*t words slapped on a wall - they're who we are at our core - and they're non-negotiables for working here. You'll feel super *comfy* and right at home if these words describe you:

You Come With Batteries Included

You're a high-energy self-starter who jumps into action, and doesn't need hand-holding to get things done.

You're Scrappy

You're a resourceful problem-solver who makes things happen; if there's no door, you get in through a window.

You Take Your Work Seriously

You take pride in your work, big and small, and you have a natural reflex to do things the *right* way.

But, You Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously

You're a positive team player who owns up to your mistakes, is open to feedback, and is humble about your wins.

  • At least 1 year of professional bartending experience, preferably in catering, banquets, or high-volume hospitality
