Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Swillhouse Full time $60,000 - $100,000 per year
Are you an experienced bartender ready to help build Sydney's next great cocktail focussed live music venue from the ground up?

We are searching for creative and dedicated bartenders to join the opening team of a thrilling new live music venue and cocktail bar in the heart of Sydney. This is your chance to be a foundational member of the team, shaping the culture and service of what will be a haven for lovers of incredible cocktails and live music, seven nights a week.

About the Venue:

We are bringing a new landmark to Sydney's nightlife: a destination dedicated to exceptional drinks and immersive live jazz, open until 2am, seven nights a week.

It's an environment built for those who love to create unforgettable guest experiences while working with some of the industries best.

What We Offer:

  • A Great Salary & Excellent Tips: A competitive salary + super, complemented by generous weekly tips from a busy service.
  • Work-Life Balance: We are a late-night venue, which means some late finishes are part of the gig. However, we are committed to ensuring our team has a genuine life outside of work and will build a roster that reflects this.
  • Growth & Development: As a member of the opening team, you'll be integral to our story. We are committed to your career progression and will provide opportunities to learn and grow, including in-house training and educational sessions.
  • A Supportive & Inclusive Culture: We value what makes you unique and are committed to building a team that is diverse, welcoming, and safe for all.
  • Unbeatable Staff Benefits: We are part of a leading hospitality group and offer an extensive benefits package, including:

  • Group-wide dining discounts for you and a guest.

  • Discounted gym and wellness memberships (including Pilates, saunas, and ice baths).
  • Access to Sonder, an industry-leading safety, medical, and wellbeing support service.
  • Daily staff meals.

What you'll bring to the role:

  • More than 3 years' experience in a fast-paced, high-volume cocktail-focused venue.
  • A genuine passion for cocktails, spirits, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for every single guest.
  • A solid understanding of classic cocktails and efficient, high-quality drink preparation.
  • A collaborative spirit and a desire to learn and grow with a supportive team.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to connect with a diverse range of people.
  • A firm commitment to upholding a safe and inclusive environment for both staff and patrons.

We believe that passion, skill, and a great attitude are just as important as years on a resume. If you have a strong foundation in high-volume bartending and are excited by the challenge of launching a new venue, we encourage you to apply.
