JOB SUMMARY:
Are you a professional who takes pride in top tier bar service, smiling customers, and outstanding customer service? Do you believe that a great drink tastes even better when served over a clean, organized bar top?
Rhythm & Brews Bar and Grill is seeking a detail-oriented Part-Time Bartender who understands that excellence is in the details as well as the pour.

- Cash in Hand: Competitive hourly base plus TIPS PAID NIGHTLY. No waiting for a paycheck to see the first fruits of your hard work!
