Bartender

The Sovereign – an acclaimed location from the Neighborhood Restaurant Group – is a Belgian bar and bistro committed to celebrating the rustic cuisine and fabled brewing culture of Belgium. We are looking for experienced bartenders to help continue our growth and to deliver our home-grown style of hospitality. Our bartenders currently make upwards of $30-40 an hour including gratuities. If you are a hospitality professional that possesses the following traits, we want to meet you: 

- Previous experience in casual to fine-dining settings (nice but not essential)

- A passion for food, beverage (especially beer!), and craft cocktail knowledge 

- The ability to multitask while demonstrating grace under pressure 

- The ability to anticipate and exceed varying guests needs 

- A positive, upbeat attitude and the desire to provide excellent hospitality 

- Focus and direction to thrive in a fast-paced and detail-oriented environment 

- A team-player mentality 

- Excitement to learn about and educate guests on our food, craft beer, wine, and liquor program 

- Ability to provide guests with a true dining experience rather than a just another meal 

- Desire to be part of an environment foundered on growth, education, and development 

The Sovereign features 50 drafts and more than 300 bottles meticulously curated by Beer Director Greg Engert. From Trappist Monastic producers whose brewing history dates back hundreds of years to an up-and-coming new generation of Belgian brewers, as well as international and domestic producers of exceptional Belgian-style ales, The Sovereign offers an expansive breadth of selections that illuminate the flavor-driven, craft-brewed complexity that is the trademark of the best Belgian beers. Just as The Sovereign champions brewers who use simple, true recipes and let technique and patience yield complex flavors, so too does our culinary team who focus on rustic, ingredient-driven Belgian dishes, while also drawing on French, German and Dutch cooking traditions. Dutch-style mussels, braises and stews such as Lapin a la Kriek (Rabbit braised in Cherry Beer), Flammkuchen and Tartes Flambé and other classic regional dishes serve as the core of our seasonally changing menu.
