Job Details

We're seeking an ambitious Bartender for Protégé and Bar Underdog, our upcoming cocktail bar concept from the team at Protégé.
 
Inspired by our favorite cocktail bars in Tokyo, London, and New York City, we will apply a similar level of creativity and technique to beverage as the Chef does in our Michelin-starred restaurant. Harnessing the best of Japanese and American bartending styles, we will blend traditional and cutting-edge techniques with the style and ease of modern mixology.

We will have a dedicated ‘lab’ for our bartending team to use for development and innovation. The space will be equipped with state-of-the-art tools including a rotary evaporator, culinary centrifuges, CRYOVAC vacuum chamber system, culinary dehydrator, forced-carbonation equipment, and a canning machine.

Our culture will foster genuine hospitality and professional growth. We place enormous value on teamwork and personal respect. 

Our ideal candidate is warm, outgoing, and creative. High-level bartending experience (i.e. cocktail batching, hydrocolloids, culinary centrifuge, culinary dehydrator, etc...) and some fine dining experience is preferred. However, as our name implies, we're looking for someone who we can mentor and help to reach their full potential. A passion for learning and the ambition to grow is essential! 

Please note: This is a full-time position. We do not offer part-time roles.

Check out these perks!

  • 2 consecutive days off every week (we're closed Sunday & Monday)
  • No double-shifts (we don't offer lunch service)
  • We cover 50% of your Kaiser Permanente 'Bronze 60' HMO premium after 60 days
  • Delicious staff meal!
