Bartender - Part-Time West Sixth Farm and Cantina (Frankfort)

About the organization West Sixth Brewing is a craft brewery founded in and headquartered in downtown Lexington, KY. We focus on producing the highest quality craft beer, sharing it with others by distributing it to restaurants and bars throughout Kentucky. We also pop-up at events from Paducah to Pikeville, delivering a taste of our taprooms to communities in every part of the state. And we operate taprooms at our production facility, located in the Bread Box at 501 West Sixth Street; at our NuLu location in downtown Louisville; the West Sixth Farm in Franklin County; and our newest spot in Covington, the West Sixth CovHaus. Along the way, we’ve also expanded to include private events and catering at these locations, as well kitchens at our NuLu taproom (the Galley) and our Farm taproom (West Sixth Cantina). Over the years, we’ve worked hard to take care of our people and show up for our communities. From our choices to focus on green design inside the taproom, to our selection of cans for distributing out beer, to our commitment to give 6% of all net profits back to other community organizations via the Sixth for a Cause Foundation, we try to live our values in every decision we make. We work hard, we have fun. Working in the beer industry is all about taking care of our customers, each other, and celebrating everything from life’s major milestones to a simple beautiful weekday afternoon over a great, locally-made beer. About the Position West Sixth Brewing Part-time Bartender and Front of House (5-10 hours/week) Our retail operations are the bread and butter of our business, a main source of revenue and just as important, often the first place that people experience West Sixth Brewing and our beers.

Our Farm taproom serves high-quality beer that we produce both at our main production brewery in Lexington, as well as those that we brew weekly on-site in Louisville.
