The Banquets Bartender role at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest is critical within the event operations team. This position is perfect for an energetic and creative individual passionate about mixology and guest service.

As a Banquets Bartender, you will be the heart of the event’s beverage service, responsible for mixing and serving cocktails with flair while ensuring each guest feels welcomed and valued. There is an emphasis on creativity, as the role encourages experimenting with new drink recipes and presenting each drink as a masterpiece. Moreover, problem-solving skills are essential to smoothly manage any challenges that arise during busy events. The job also requires handling cash transactions accurately and maintaining integrity in all financial exchanges.

This position offers new team members the opportunity to work in a supportive, fun, and fast-paced environment alongside a dynamic team focused on delivering excellence. After an initial waiting period, full-time employees become eligible for a competitive benefits package that enhances their overall employment experience. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, short-term and long-term disability income protection, term life and AD&D insurance, paid time off, an employee assistance program, and a 401k retirement plan. Additionally, the hotel has introduced a daily pay option for eligible employees, providing flexibility and financial convenience.

Ideal candidates for this role will have a few months of related experience or training, hold alcohol awareness certification in compliance with state regulations, and possess strong communication and problem-solving skills. The Minneapolis Marriott Northwest is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment where all employees can thrive and contribute to memorable guest experiences. This role is an exciting opportunity for bartenders eager to elevate their craft in a distinguished setting and play a key role in some of the most memorable events hosted by the hotel.
