Lead Bartender - 99 West Paces

Our Michelin-starred restaurant group is seeking an experienced Lead Bartender for our new 50-seat fine dining restaurant.

We’re looking for a poised, detail-driven Lead Bartender to be part of an intimate and disciplined team. Our dining room demands focus and finesse, delivering hospitality with quiet precision and sincerity.

We value people who approach service as a craft: calm, aware, and exacting. Guest connections are essential here, but always professional, never performative. Our dining room is built on quiet confidence and respect for the guest’s experience.

The lead bartender is responsible for beverage menu development, recipe development and execution, bar ordering, and working service.

• 3+ years in bartending
