About Us
St. James Live is a high-energy live music venue known for exceptional performances, great crowds, and a fast-paced atmosphere. We pride ourselves on delivering a memorable guest experience through great music, efficient service, and high-quality beverages. We’re looking for a service-driven bartender who thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys being part of a team that keeps the show and beverage service running smoothly.
Position Summary
The Service Bartender supports the bar and floor team by preparing drinks quickly, consistently, and accurately for servers. Unlike a guest-oriented bartender, this role focuses on speed, organization, and coordination to help ensure an exceptional guest experience throughout the venue.

-
Adhere to all responsible alcohol service laws, venue policies, and safety guidelines.
-
Support fellow bar and server team members during high-volume periods as needed.
-
Assist with batch prep, bar turn-over in between shows, and replenishing bar supplies.
-
Provide consistent quality control and ensure all beverages meet presentation and recipe standards.
-
Maintain a positive, collaborative attitude in a fast-paced, music-driven environment.
-
Qualifications
Previous bartending or high-volume service bar experience preferred (music venue or nightclub experience a plus).
-
Strong ability to multitask and maintain composure under pressure.
-
Solid working knowledge of spirits, cocktails, beer, and bar equipment.
-
Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
-
Ability to stand for extended periods, lift up to 40 lbs, and work in a loud, fast-paced environment.

Must be at least 21 years old and able to obtain any required local alcohol-service certifications.
-

Competitive hourly pay.
-
Opportunities for growth within a well-established venue.
-
A fun, energetic atmosphere surrounded by live music and creative people.
