BARTENDER
If you're a people person and love shaking up cocktails, this could be the ideal part-time job for you
We are looking for an experienced Bartender to join our team at Cabinet Rooms. In this role, you will be responsible for crafting high-quality cocktails and providing excellent customer service. This will involve working two to three evenings a week including weekends.
You'll mainly be based behind the bar but at quieter times you'll be expected to help out on the floor so you should be as equally confident dealing with customers as you are shaking up drinks.
We're a very popular drinking spot so you'll need to be able to keep up the pace in a busy bar environment. It's not just churning out drinks though. We pride ourselves in delivering a high quality of classic cocktails and contemporary spins so you'll need to really care about the drinks you make.
This isn't a seasonal job so please only apply if you are happy to work weekends and are able to work throughout the year. Due to the nature of the role we will only be shortlisting candidates over the age of 18.
