Chez Joséphine is a French-American piano bistro at 414 West 42nd Street. We've been open since 1986 as a tribute to Josephine Baker, with live music seven days a week. Every guest gets noticed, and so does every bartender.
We're looking for a bartender who can run a tight bar in a busy, music-driven room. Pre-theater rushes are fast, late nights are relaxed, and the bar is part of the show.
What you'll do:
- Make classic cocktails, wine pours, and beer service quickly and consistently
- Work the bar and serve guests who are dining at it
- Keep the bar stocked, clean, and set up before service
- Handle POS orders and tabs accurately (we use Toast)
- Work with servers and the kitchen so drinks and food hit the table together
- Follow NYC alcohol service laws and check IDs every time
What we're looking for:
- 2+ years bartending in a high-volume or full-service restaurant
- Solid knowledge of classic cocktails and French wine (or the willingness to learn it quickly)
- Calm under pressure, good with guests, and reliable
- Available evenings and weekends
- Comfortable in a room with live music
