Who We Are
Hotel Jackson is a boutique luxury hotel on the Town Square in Jackson, Wyoming. We are independently owned, personally operated, and deeply invested in this place. Hospitality here isn’t transactional — it’s an act of genuine connection. We believe in warmth, authenticity, expertise, and the kind of care that makes guests feel truly at home.
Our mission is simple: We are here to host. That means anticipating needs, elevating every detail, and delivering impactful memorable moments.
The Role
We’re hiring a Bartender who brings genuine craft and real hospitality to every shift. You’re not just building drinks — you’re setting the tone for the entire rooftop experience. Guests at Ibero are discerning. They notice when a cocktail is made with intention, when a recommendation comes from knowledge rather than guesswork, and when the person behind the bar is genuinely glad they’re there.
This is a role for someone who takes pride in the work — the recipes, the pours, the pace, and the people.
What You’ll Own
- Craft and consistency: prepare both classic and original cocktails to a precise standard, every service, every shift.
- Guest connection: engage guests with warmth and confidence — read the bar, make recommendations, and create an experience rather than just a transaction.
- Menu fluency: know the full cocktail and beverage program — ingredients, techniques, flavor profiles, and pairings with the tapas menu — so every suggestion is genuine.
- Bar presentation: plan and maintain a bar that is organized, visually sharp, and fully stocked throughout service.
- Responsible service: verify guest identification, comply with all alcohol service regulations, and exercise sound judgment throughout every shift.
- Inventory discipline: restock and replenish bar supplies and flag needs before they become problems.
- Team integration: work closely with servers, the kitchen, and support staff so the rooftop experience is seamless from the bar outward.
- Compliance: adhere to all food and beverage regulations and Hotel Jackson standards at all times.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven bartending experience in a high-touch, guest-facing environment; upscale or craft cocktail experience strongly preferred.
- Deep knowledge of cocktail technique — mixing, garnishing, balancing, and presenting drinks to a high standard.
- Genuine interest in the craft: you follow the industry, you have opinions about spirits, and you’re always learning.
- Warm, articulate, and confident in conversation with discerning guests.
- Organized, disciplined, and reliable with bar inventory and setup.
- Compliance-minded: you take responsible alcohol service seriously.
- Knowledge of a second language is a plus.
- Relevant bartending or TIPS certification preferred.
Who Thrives Here
The Ibero is the right place for a bartender who sees the role as a craft worth mastering — not just a job to fill shifts. If you take pride in a well-built drink, a genuinely warm interaction, and a bar that runs like it should, this is your room.
You’ll thrive if you:
- Take real ownership of the bar program — the product, the pace, and the guest experience.
- Are as comfortable guiding a guest through the cocktail menu as you are executing a high-volume rush.
- Care about standards: you don’t cut corners when it gets busy.
- You see training as an opportunity to grow, not something to get through.
- Thrive in a small, high-trust environment where your craft is visible every shift.
This may not be the right fit if you:
- Prefer a high-volume bar environment where speed matters more than connection or craft.
- Are not interested in learning the food and beverage program in depth.
- Need heavy management structure to stay organized and on standard during service.
