OUR HOTEL
The Met Hotel Leeds has undergone a bold transformation —
more than just a refurbishment, it's a complete reimagining. Located in the
heart of Leeds city centre, we’ve created a destination that’s both timeless
and trendsetting. From sleek interiors to a vibrant food and drink offering,
The Met is where heritage meets lifestyle.
Now we’re looking for Bartenders who bring energy,
creativity, and personality to every pour — and help us shape unforgettable
guest experiences at the heart of our dynamic bar.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BARTENDER AT THE MET HOTEL, LEEDS
As a Bartender, you’ll be right in the middle of the action,
crafting cocktails, serving drinks with flair, and delivering high-energy
service that keeps our guests coming back for more. Whether you’re shaking up a
classic or recommending the perfect wine pairing, you’ll bring knowledge,
style, and a personal touch to every shift.
You’ll work closely with your bar team and Head Bartender to
ensure service runs smoothly, the bar looks sharp, and every guest feels seen,
welcomed, and wowed.
In this dynamic role, you’ll not only bring energy and
expertise behind the bar but also support the wider restaurant team, delivering
exceptional service across both bar and floor to create a seamless guest
experience.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
* Deliver
exceptional service that’s engaging, efficient, and always guest-focused, both in the bar and restaurant.
* Support the event bar during key periods.
* Mix
and serve a wide range of drinks from our cocktail, wine, beer, and soft
drink menus — with accuracy, flair, and attention to detail.
* Work
as part of a passionate, upbeat team, bringing energy and enthusiasm to
every shift, both within the bar area and the restaurant.
* Keep
the bar fully prepped and the presentation-perfect — from garnishes to
glassware, and keep an eye on your table customers to ensure they are
fully catered for.
* Learn
from the Head Bartender and take part in ongoing training to develop your
skills and product knowledge.
* Upsell
premium products and suggest pairings that elevate the guest experience.
* Handle
payments, follow operational procedures, and keep the bar running
smoothly.
* Maintain
high hygiene and safety standards — because a clean bar is a happy bar.
* Share
ideas, guest feedback, and trends with the team to help shape future
service.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
We hire mostly on personality & potential, but here are
a few of our requirements:
* A
love for all things food and drink — you’re curious, creative, and know
your way around a cocktail shaker.
* Previous
experience in a bar or hospitality setting would be advantageous (but we’ll provide training
too).
* A
warm, energetic personality — you make guests feel like the most important
person in the room.
* A
team player who thrives in a fast-paced, people-focused environment.
* Flexible
and reliable — happy to work evenings, weekends, and bank holidays as part
of a rota.
* Willingness
to learn, grow, and take on new challenges with a smile.
WHAT WE OFFER
Why this role?
* Be part of an exciting transformation at one of
Leeds’ most iconic hotels.
* Work in a lively, creative environment where
your individuality is valued.
* Competitive hourly rate, tips, and flexible
hours to suit your lifestyle.
* Learn from experienced bartenders and grow your
skills every day.
You will also have access to a benefits package we believe
truly works for our people:
* Discounted hotel room rates for you and your
friends & family
* An additional day’s leave for your birthday
* Enhanced maternity, adoption & shared
parental leave
* Course sponsorship & training opportunities
* 30% F&B discount at RBH hotels
* Refer a Friend scheme—earn £250 per referral (up
to 5!)

* Social and wellness events all year round
* Free meals on duty (saving you over £1,000 per
year!
…and much more!
