BARTENDERS WANTED — NO POSERS. JUST PROS. We’re opening the kind of place we want to drink at: Dark corners. Loud music. Strong drinks. Zero bullshit. A dive bar feel, but every pour is perfected, and every detail matters. If you’ve got the chops, the hustle, and the palate — keep reading. What we’re after: Experienced bartenders (1+ years minimum) who know their way around a speed rail and a proper stirred-down Sazerac. Confidence, not ego. Personality, not performance. People who work fast, stay sharp, and never water it down — literally or figuratively. Must give a damn about quality: ingredients, technique, service, all of it. Punctual, professional (yes, even in a leather jacket), and ready to help build something from the ground up. What you’re walking into: A brand new, no-fuss venue with a whole lot of personality. Cocktails that slap. Beers that don’t suck. No neon blue shots unless we’re joking. A team that works hard, supports each other, and doesn’t take themselves too seriously. Late nights, good tunes, and a little chaos (the good kind). Solid pay, proper tips, and room to grow if you’re in it for the ride. Pay increases as you climb the bartender levels. Sound like your kind of joint? Slide into our applications with your resume + a little something about why you belong behind our bar. Let’s make some noise for afters. Coming soon to Clapham.
