Aparium Hotel Group is a distinguished hospitality company recognized for its commitment to creating unique, community-focused hotel experiences that prioritize People, Place, and Character. Among its esteemed properties is the Jasper Hotel in Fargo, North Dakota, a soulful and sophisticated venue that serves as a social hub for locals and modern travelers alike. This avant-garde hotel blends luxury with community, boasting 125 rooms and 3900 square feet of flexible event space, along with compelling food and beverage restaurant programming. Aparium Hotel Group’s ethos centers on celebrating individuality, community pride, and cultural connection, fostering an environment where employees and guests alike feel valued and engaged. The company is an equal opportunity employer, dedicated to creating an inclusive, equitable workplace free from discrimination and welcoming to all individuals regardless of their background. The hotel operates as a smoke-free, drug-free facility and emphasizes a culture of collaboration, humility, and mutual respect among its team members.

The role of Bartender at the Jasper Hotel is a dynamic position embedded in this vibrant hospitality culture. Reporting directly to the Restaurant General Manager, the Bartender is part of a collaborative team comprising barbacks, servers, dishwashers, cooks, and chefs, all working cohesively to ensure an exceptional guest experience. The ideal candidate will demonstrate an in-depth menu knowledge with the ability to serve guests safely, particularly those with allergies or dietary restrictions. The role demands ongoing learning, with beverage tastings and training sessions designed to expand expertise in beer, wine, and spirits.

The role includes maintaining cleanliness and organization within the bar area, supporting food and beverage teams through effective communication, and contributing wherever necessary across various F&B departments including banquets and in-room dining. This position offers the chance to work with passionate peers who value humility and open-mindedness, all while contributing to a hospitality experience that prides itself on soulful sophistication and community connection. Serving alcohol responsibly and safely is a core responsibility, as is accurate monetary transaction management during shifts. Candidates drawn to this role often have a genuine passion for beverage craftsmanship and a commitment to exemplary guest service, thriving in a setting that encourages growth, creativity, and team spirit.
