This venue combines hospitality with a dynamic atmosphere catering to students, faculty, and visitors alike. As part of OVG's commitment to excellence, the Social Club offers an engaging environment driven by high standards of service, innovation, and community connection.
The Bartender role is a part-time position based at the University of Kansas Social Club, located at 1651 Naismith Drive, Lawrence, KS. This role offers an hourly wage ranging from $12.00 to $15.00 and is tip eligible, providing an attractive opportunity for individuals seeking flexible work arrangements with potential for earnings through gratuities. The position requires a personable, professional bartender capable of thriving in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment. The bartender will be integral to the hospitality team, tasked with delivering outstanding beverage service that aligns with OVG's commitment to guest satisfaction and excellence.
Bartenders at the Social Club are responsible for serving a wide range of beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, adhering to all relevant state and federal regulations concerning alcohol service.
