We’re looking for a legend to tend our bar. Could it be you?

You get mighty excited about quality drinks and love sharing your knowledge with thirsty guests. You’ll be taking orders, recommending drinks, mixing our spectacular cocktails, and pouring the finest NZ wines and craft beers.

Wrangling a tidy, well-stocked bar is second nature to you, and your bartender’s super sense can spot an empty glass across a crowded restaurant.

You’re a top team player, and you’re comfortable training and mentoring new talent.

But most of all, you love showing good folks a great time.

So, if you aspire to be the best bar keep you know, we’re mighty keen to hear from you.

Hours of work and requirements:

  • part-time, full time and casual positions are available
  • no early mornings as we are open only for dinner, shift usually starts at 4 PM
  • flexible availability - must be able to work evenings and weekends
  • our bartender position requires some experience behind a bar but we are more than happy to train you if you don't have any experience

Key Attributes:

  • Punctual, trustworthy, and reliable
  • High level of organization, self-motivation, and initiative.
  • Ability to work well in a team environment
  • Ability to produce quality drinks including cocktails at a fast pace and under time pressure.
  • Ability to work well in a team environment and to be approachable with excellent people skills.

Benefits:

  • pay once a week 
  • staff discounts for drinks
  • LCQ certification after 6 months
  • opportunities to up-skill to a Duty Manager and Bar Manager with a possible sponsorship for the right person

All candidates must have the legal right to work in New Zealand.
