Bartender (Full-time)

Bartender Position at CLUB39

As a full-time bartender at CLUB39, you'll work behind a full bar and execute a serious but approachable cocktail program in an environment where guests come to have a genuinely good time. You're a meaningful part of what makes that happen.

Our focus is linking genuine hospitality with expertly crafted cocktails, ensuring every guest feels welcome from the moment they walk in to the moment they leave. We're looking for someone who takes pride in a well-built drink and a welcoming interaction, and understands that bartending and hospitality are the same skill when you're doing both right.

CLUB39 is an elevated but approachable sports bar at Padel39 East Austin, where a craft cocktail program and a sport with serious momentum come together. We're opening in May 2026 and building the team that sets the standard.

Padel39 is a fast-growing multi-location padel club operator in Texas. CLUB39 is the bar program that anchors our East Austin location, and the people behind it represent what this brand is capable of.
