Bartender – Casual

A Stage Unlike Any Other

In 1863, a group of artists, writers, and free thinkers gathered with a shared conviction: that the finest conversation, the boldest ideas, and the warmest hospitality belonged together under one roof. Charles Dickens dined here. Whistler argued here. Rodin was inspired here.

The Arts Club was born not as a venue, but as a living expression of creative life — and it has never stopped.

At the heart of that life today are the people and spaces that bring our club to life every day. This is more than an operation — it is an environment where members connect, create, and return time and time again because something about it feels truly special.

It takes an exceptional person to be part of that.

That person might be you.

As a Casual Bartender, you will ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the Bar during your shift, keeping the Head Bartender informed of any guest feedback, VIPs, stock levels, and other relevant matters throughout the day.

MAIN DUTIES:

• Lead by example, ensuring the bar is clean, well-stocked, and ready for service. Maintain impeccable personal hygiene and presentation.
