In addition these positions are for individuals with bar experience. This means a working knowledge of beer, cocktails, spirits, and wines.

I am aware this may sound like a lot to digest but I am simply being thorough in an effort to not waste anyone's time.

We are trying to find an interval part of a successful team. A person that genuinely likes serving food and drinks. That has the ability to make our regulars feel at home and garner new customers as well.

If this sounds like something you are interested in please respond with a resume, or current work history, and your detailed weekly availability.

Again this may seem overkill but it's only because there has been a lot of applicants recently with either zero experience, unrelated experience, minimal experience or straight up no availability.
