THE ROLE

You’ll be hands-on behind the stick, leading from the front during busy services, while also helping us lift the whole bar team.

You will:

• Run the bar during high-volume services with speed, calm, and control
• Deliver genuinely warm, confident hospitality — eye contact, banter, connection, care

Make (and maintain) our in-house components: syrups, infusions, tinctures, shrubs, salts, garnishes

• Keep consistency tight: specs, builds, glassware, dilution, garnish, presentation
• Support training and development of the bar team to Hot Tamale standards
• Assist in menu development, testing, and execution (seasonal and special drops)
• Maintain systems, prep lists, stock rotation, ordering, cleanliness, and bar organisation

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You don’t need to be the loudest in the room — but you do need to be serious about yourcraft and serious about people.

You are:

• An experienced cocktail bartender (not a dispense-only role)
• Fast on your feet and sharp under pressure
• A natural host: you can read a guest, lead a night, and lift the vibe
• Proud of your prep and your cleanliness — mise en place is your love language
• A builder and a learner: you want to improve, and you help others improve
• Ideally an agavenerd (or well on the way): tequila, mezcal, raicilla, sotol… you’re curious and hungry

Experience:

• Minimum 2 years hospitality experience (bar or restaurant, table service, high volume)
• Minimum 1 year in a quality cocktail bar (flavour knowledge + technique)
• A 12-month commitment to the venue
