The topmost third level is home to an elegant rooftop bar that overlooks the Santa Monica Pier and Pacific Ocean, providing a picturesque setting where guests can unwind, socialize, and enjoy expertly crafted cocktails.

The Bartender role at Seaside by the Pier is pivotal in ensuring every guest has an outstanding experience.

Given the restaurant’s prime location and varied clientele, bartenders will have the opportunity to engage with guests from all walks of life, making strong impressions and returning business through exceptional service.

Earl Enterprises values ethical integrity, teamwork, and professionalism, and these principles are at the core of what makes their venues successful. Employees are encouraged to bring their best selves to work daily, contributing to an inclusive and enjoyable workplace culture. The Bartender role is ideal for motivated individuals with prior experience in similar fast-paced, customer-facing roles who aspire to advance their skills in the hospitality industry within a company that supports growth and values innovation. This role offers the chance to work in a vibrant oceanfront setting at a competitive wage, with an emphasis on guest engagement and quality service.

If you are passionate about mixology, enjoy working in a bustling yet friendly atmosphere, and are committed to delivering top-notch hospitality, Seaside by the Pier invites you to join their team.
