Job Description
Live Nation Entertainment is the world’s leading live entertainment company and has been widely recognized for its innovation and excellence in the industry. It is composed of global market leaders such as Ticketmaster, Live Nation Concerts, and Live Nation Media & Sponsorship. Live Nation Entertainment’s mission is to bring live music to fans all around the world by supporting artists through concert promotion, production, global venue development, sales, brand partnerships, artist management, and cutting-edge ticketing solutions. Recognized for seven years as a Great Place to Work and named one of Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies, Live Nation is committed to creating an inclusive and supportive workplace culture for all of its employees.
Within the Live Nation Entertainment family is HOB Entertainment, a division that operates the House of Blues venues. House of Blues has been a hallmark of soulful music and southern culture since it opened its doors on Thanksgiving Day in 1992. Known for providing a rich variety of live music genres including rock, hip hop, country, blues, jazz, reggae, pop, and rock en Español, House of Blues venues offer an immersive music hall experience. The venues are also famous for their southern-style cuisine and juke-joint inspired atmosphere that creates a unique and welcoming environment for guests. The House of Blues brand is deeply committed to community service, demonstrated through its International House of Blues Foundation which works to give back to local shelters and communities.
The role of Bartender at House of Blues venues is central to providing an exceptional guest experience in these vibrant music halls and restaurants. Bartenders serve both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as food to guests, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere while maintaining professionalism and efficiency. They interact naturally and warmly with guests, contributing to the venue’s welcoming environment and fostering a sense of community and repeat business. Bartenders must exhibit strong interpersonal communication skills, be able to handle cash transactions accurately, and maintain compliance with responsible alcohol service policies. The position involves working in a fast-paced and often loud, energetic environment where the ability to prioritize orders, suggestively sell menu items, and ensure safety are all critical.
This is a role that requires flexibility with scheduling including late hours, physical stamina to stand for extended periods, and the ability to handle up to 25 pounds safely. Bartenders participate in regular pour tests and mixology drills to ensure quality and consistency. Additionally, they play an important role in maintaining venue safety and sanitation standards. They must be vigilant in recognizing and managing intoxicated guests and follow all local ordinances and House of Blues policies regarding alcohol service. The role may also involve occasional work at special events held at the venue. House of Blues bartenders are part of the larger Live Nation team, which offers competitive benefits including healthcare, retirement plans, generous vacation time, student loan repayment, tuition reimbursement, parental leave benefits, and exclusive access to live events. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals passionate about live music, hospitality, and delivering memorable experiences in an iconic entertainment setting.
