Full Job Description

Location: Fulton Market, Chicago

Pay: $19.00/hour + tips

Schedule: Tuesday–Thursday | 1:00 PM–8:00 PM (longer hours depending on events)

Additional Availability: Applicants must be available to work Mondays and Fridays as needed for private tenant events, catered functions, event preparation, and as our hospitality program continues to grow. While Monday and Friday are not part of the regular weekly schedule, flexibility for these days is required.

Create Experiences. Not Just Cocktails.

Infuse Hospitality is seeking an experienced, creative Lead Bartender / Mixologist to own and grow the beverage program inside a beautiful private tenant amenity space located in one of Fulton Market's premier Class A office buildings.

This is not a traditional restaurant or neighborhood bar.

Our space is exclusively available to building tenants and serves as a premium hospitality destination for daily café service, happy hours, networking events, and private corporate functions. As the Lead Bartender, you'll have the opportunity to create an elevated beverage experience while operating the bar independently. We're looking for someone who thrives on creativity, takes pride in exceptional hospitality, and enjoys introducing new cocktails, seasonal features, and memorable experiences that keep guests coming back.

If you're someone who's always thinking about your next signature cocktail, loves experimenting with flavors, spirits, and presentation, and wants the freedom to bring your ideas to life, we'd love to meet you.
