Join our dedicated team as our new Lead Bartender at Abigail Hall a cocktail bar tucked away in downtown Portland at Woodlark Hotel! Abigail Hall is a historic space with a cozy atmosphere featuring a rotating, seasonal cocktail menu alongside a nostalgic menu created by chefs in Bullard Tavern right next door. The space was once the Ladies Reception Hall of the former Cornelius Hotel of 1907 and current design details pay homage to that time through a reproduction of the penny-tile floors, pink & maroon leather banquettes and walls covered with a hand-painted floral mural.

Our team is small and works closely together to create amazing experiences for guests. We all work together to be the best we can be! In addition to nightly service, we host regular private events and offer High Tea on the weekends. The bar is fun and lively while taking the craft of cocktails seriously.
