The establishment serves as a nighttime oasis where tradition meets contemporary entertainment, attracting a diverse clientele who appreciate the blend of rustic charm and modern nightlife excitement.

The role being offered is that of a Cocktail Server, a pivotal position responsible for ensuring guest satisfaction through professional and friendly service in this bustling venue. As a Cocktail Server, you will play a key role in creating memorable experiences by greeting guests warmly, taking food and beverage orders efficiently, and serving cocktails along with menu items while engaging in strategic up-selling.

Working nights, weekends, and holidays may be required, reflecting the dynamic nature of the hospitality industry. Physical stamina is needed to handle activities such as lifting up to 50 pounds, standing or moving throughout the facility, and performing various movements including bending, stooping, and kneeling.

The Cocktail Server position is ideal for individuals who have experience in fast-paced food and beverage environments, particularly nightclubs or similar venues, and who are passionate about delivering high-quality customer service. Those who thrive in energetic settings and can maintain a positive and professional attitude at all times will find this role rewarding. The establishment values diversity and is an equal opportunity employer committed to complying with federal employment laws. Overall, this opportunity offers a compelling blend of work, culture, and community in an exciting and unique venue in Louisville.
