Bartender
Job Overview
Participate in an environment where your imagination and humor is appreciated, your efficiency is admired and your organization is valued. Engage with a modest and lauded culinary crew who bend boundaries through serving delicious works of art. Do you want to be challenged all the time at work and be inspired by fresh ingredients a few steps outside of the bar? Are you ready to receive and give thoughtful feedback, interacting conscientiously with others? We’re looking for a bartender to take our bar program to the next level.
We expect the cocktails you create and the wine and beer you pair to resonate with the epic fare we provide. We encourage artistry and innovation alongside self-motivation and humility. Feel free to forage on the nearly 40 acre property for ingredients and speak with the on-site farmers to learn about the flowers, fruits, herbs and vegetables being grown for climate resilience and playful inspiration.
