Bartender

Bartender / Team Member Wanted — Riley Tavern (Verona, WI)

Riley Tavern is looking for a friendly, reliable bartender to join our team! We're a family-style, community-focused tavern known for movie nights, trivia, live music, and great bar food (pizza, burgers, and more). If you love people, don't mind wearing a few different hats, and want to be part of a laid-back, welcoming spot, we'd love to meet you.

Position: Bartender (Cross-Trained Team Member)

While your main role will be behind the bar, we're a small, close-knit team — so you'll also help out with running food, light food prep, and general front-of-house support as needed. Every shift looks a little different, and we all pitch in together.

What You'll Do

• Mix and serve drinks with a friendly, welcoming attitude
• Take orders and serve food and drinks to guests as needed
• Help keep the bar and patio area clean, stocked, and running smoothly
• Support event nights — trivia, live music, movie nights — and help keep the vibe fun and relaxed
• Jump in wherever the team needs a hand (Barback or Food runner)
• Check IDs and follow responsible alcohol service guidelines

What We're Looking For

• No bartending experience required — we'll train you! Some experience is a plus, but a great attitude matters more.
• Friendly, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoys working with people
• Reliable and a team player — willing to help wherever needed
• Must be 18+ (or as required by Wisconsin law for alcohol service)
• Ability to work evenings/weekends as needed for events

Schedule

• Both full-time and part-time positions available — flexible scheduling

Pay

• $10.00/hour base wage + tips
• Tips typically add $10–$40+ per hour, depending on the shift and events

Why Riley Tavern?

We're more than just a bar — we're a neighborhood gathering spot. Come be part of a team that feels like family, in a place where regulars become friends and every night has its own energy, from quiet weeknights to packed trivia and live music nights.

Pay: $20.00 - $50.00 per hour

Benefits:

• Employee discount
• Flexible schedule
• Paid training

Work Location: In person
