Experienced Bartender

Bartender — Hen of the Wood

Hen of the Wood is seeking a skilled, professional Bartender to join our team.

If you know us, you know our commitment to local, quality, hospitality, culture, and team. This is not a casual bartending role—you’ll be part of a disciplined, high-performing bar team executing a thoughtful, best-in-market beverage program.

You’ll work in a high-volume, high-expectation environment supported by engaged beverage leadership, with real opportunity to learn and grow.

Hybrid server/bartender roles are available for the right candidate.

What You’ll Do

• Execute cocktails, beer, cider, wine, and NA beverages with precision and consistency
• Deliver genuine, informed hospitality—not just service
• Maintain a clean, organized, fully stocked bar at all times
• Work with urgency while staying accurate and composed under pressure
• Contribute to strong team flow with kitchen and service staff
• Follow all standards for ID checks, responsible service, and cash/POS handling

What We’re Looking For

• Experience behind a quality bar (craft-focused preferred)
• Strong attention to detail and pride in your work
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• Solid foundational knowledge of cocktails, spirits, beer, and wine
• Professional, team-first mindset with a willingness to learn
• Comfort with systems (Toast POS or similar is a plus)

Why Join Us

• Work within a respected, quality-driven restaurant group
• Be part of a Pro Team with high standards and strong culture
• Ongoing learning, tasting, and development opportunities
• Consistent volume and a well-run operation

If you take pride in your craft, move with purpose, and care deeply about guest experience—we’d love to meet you.
