Bartender, Très LA Bistro & Café
West Hollywood, CA (Pacific Design Center) | Part-Time | $25.00 per hour plus tips

About Us
Très LA Bistro & Café opened a little over six months ago inside the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, and the word is out. Business is picking up, our regulars are bringing their friends, and the buzz is building. We serve design professionals, creative teams, and neighborhood guests for morning coffee and lunch. From Wednesday through Friday, we also host a Happy Hour that is quickly becoming a local favorite. We are still early in our story, so the people who join us now will help shape what the Bistro becomes.

The Role
We are looking for an experienced Bartender who can confidently run our bar during daytime and early evening service. You know your way around a cocktail menu, you stay calm when it gets busy, and you make every guest feel welcome. You will prepare and serve cocktails, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages, and you will be the face of our bar. Our Wednesday through Friday Happy Hour is quickly becoming a favorite, and you will be at the center of it. You will work closely with our floor and kitchen teams, and you will have a real voice as our bar program grows.
