At the helm of the team behind Aita Clinton Hill is Mayflower — a small speakeasy bar tucked away on the Waverly side of the restaurant, serving seasonal and classic cocktails, natural wine, and a rotating tap of local beer in a cozy atmosphere with no pretense. We offer an extensive selection of special spirits with a focus on minority-owned/women-led brands and an emphasis on Mezcal and Aperitivo/Bitters.

Our front-of-house team is led by Althea Codamon - formerly of Union Square Hospitality Group, Happy Cooking Hospitality, Crafted Hospitality, Jean Georges Restaurants, and Epicurean Group - whose many years of working in the kitchen, on the floor, and behind the bar have landed her in a role that allows her to share her passion, knowledge, and quick wit with the new generation of hospitality enthusiasts.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
A part-time bartender who is able to jive with us; someone who commands the room, understands social cues, and wants to grow with an established, growing company. Must love good music, good vibes, and good people. Must love working in Brooklyn!

This position is ideal for a seasoned bartender looking to hone their skills, a bartender looking to move into a head bartender roles, or even a current head bartender looking to take the next step in their bar career by learning directly from the Bar Manager how to operate a successful cocktail bar. This role is a solo-bartender gig and requires attention to detail and strong work ethic even though the bartender will be working alone. If you just want to make fast cash money and work short, easy shifts this may not be for you.
