Job description:
940's Kitchen & Cocktails is looking for an experienced craft bartender who wants to do more than work behind a bar. We're looking for someone who wants to help us build one.
Craft Cocktail Bartender:
Main Focus: The science, history, and artistry behind every drink.
Drink Style: Uses fresh juices, house-made syrups, artisanal ice, and unique garnishes to build complex, custom flavors.
Environment: Found in upscale lounges, speakeasies, and high-end cocktail bars.
We have an opportunity to take our bar business to another level, and we're looking for a bartender with the skill, personality, creativity, and drive to help make that happen.
If you know how to make a great cocktail, understand why consistency matters, can handle volume without sacrificing quality, and genuinely enjoy taking care of people, we'd like to meet you.

- Work efficiently under pressure without allowing quality or hospitality to suffer
- Learn our food and beverage menus and confidently make recommendations to guests
- Help identify opportunities to improve our cocktail program and grow bar sales
- Contribute ideas for seasonal menus, promotions, special events, and featured cocktails
- Work as part of the restaurant team rather than as an island behind the bar

- Previous bartending experience in a quality restaurant, cocktail bar, or comparable operation
- Strong knowledge of spirits, classic cocktails, proper techniques, and contemporary cocktail trends
- The ability to develop balanced, creative cocktails that guests will actually want to order

- We're serious about quality, but we also believe a great bar should be fun. Guests should enjoy sitting in front of you. Your coworkers should enjoy working beside you. And you should take some pride in seeing a packed bar and knowing you helped put people in those seats.
- We're looking for someone with the dedication and desire to help build our bar business to its full potential, backed by the speed and accuracy to execute when the place gets busy.
- Bring us your creativity. Bring us your personality. Bring us your favorite cocktail ideas.
- Most importantly, bring the attitude that says, "Let's make this bar something people talk about."If that sounds like the kind of bar you want to help build, we'd like to hear from you.
