THE OPPORTUNITY
We are seeking a Lead Service Bartender to set the standard for our bar and café program and to anchor the team that brings it to life. This role crafts cocktails, pours wine and beer, and delivers full food service — while also training service bartenders, setting the pace and tone behind the bar, and acting as the point person for the shift when a manager isn't on the floor.
The ideal candidate is part craftsperson, host, server, and mentor. They take pride in a perfectly balanced cocktail and hold the rest of the team to that same standard. They understand that the drink is only part of the job, and that guiding a guest through the food menu — and coaching a newer bartender through a rush — matters just as much.
Confident behind the bar during a Friday night rush, they also bring the operational discipline to manage pours, plate food to standard, own inventory and ordering, and uphold responsible service while ensuring the rest of the bar team is accountable.
