We are a neighborhood restaurant located in the vibrant Cherry Creek area of Colorado, dedicated to providing genuine and reliable fare in a socially engaging atmosphere. Our restaurant is a beloved spot where friends and soon-to-be friends come together to celebrate the things they cherish most: great food, great drinks, and great company. We take hospitality to heart by ensuring all of our guests feel completely at home and leave our establishment feeling satisfied, nourished, and inspired. The level of thoughtful prestige that defines our restaurant is further enhanced by our proud accomplishment of being named Denver’s only AAA 4-Diamond independent hotel in 2023. Additionally, we have been recognized as one of Denver’s “Best Places to Work,” reflecting our commitment to creating a positive, rewarding work environment for our team members.

This role is for a Banquet Bartender, whose key responsibilities include bringing genuine warmth and charismatic energy behind the bar during special events such as weddings, birthdays, and conferences. This person will be responsible and organized, works well within a team, and can perform quickly and efficiently even in a fast-paced environment. The ideal Banquet Bartender will have strong knowledge of cocktails, beer, wine, coffee, and brunch beverage offerings to create memorable experiences for guests. Along with serving drinks, the bartender ensures the bar area and surrounding service spaces are maintained with cleanliness, organization, and presentation standards.

The Banquet Bartender plays a crucial role in our events, providing warm, attentive, and engaging service to guests both at the bar and within the dining space.

We are looking for someone with a passion for hospitality and delivering elevated guest experiences, coupled with strong organizational skills and keen attention to detail. Flexible schedule availability, including mornings, weekends, and holidays, is required. Current alcohol service certification is preferred where applicable. Due to the physical demands of the job, the ability to stand and walk for extended periods and lift and carry bar products, glassware, and supplies weighing up to 50 pounds is necessary.
