Overview:
Forget everything you know about traditional bars—we're not your average venue. Think neon golf balls, retro bangers blasting, and cocktails served with flair. We're an eccentric indoor crazy golf experience, where good times roll right alongside hole-in-ones and unexpected dance-offs.
We're on the lookout for an experienced Bartender to join our small-but-mighty team from October through March, our busiest and most bonkers time of the year. You'll be mixing cocktails, pouring pints, chatting with guests, and playing a key role in creating an unforgettable experience for every visitor.
If you've got killer bar skills, a big personality, and thrive in high-energy, slightly chaotic (in the best way) environments - you might be who we're looking for
The role:
As one of our bartenders, you're not just slinging drinks—you're part of the show. You'll be centre stage in our buzzing bar area, helping guests kick off their crazy golf adventure with a perfectly made cocktail and a smile. This is a temporary role to support our peak season, but for the right fit, there's potential to stick around for longer.
What you'll be doing:
* Shaking, stirring, and serving a range of drinks to spec (and with a little flair).
* Engaging with guests, taking orders, and delivering top-notch service with a smile (or a dance move, if that's your vibe).
* Keeping the bar looking sharp - clean, organised, and Instagram-worthy.
* Making sure we're meeting food safety and responsible serving standards (we love fun, but we play by the rules).
* Monitoring stock levels and helping keep waste to a minimum.
* Handling card transactions with accuracy and ease.
* Managing your time like a pro.
* Working closely with our floor team to make sure everything runs smoother than a well-poured pint.
Skills & Experience:
* 1+ year experience bartending is essential.
* Strong hospitality instincts and a love for making people smile.
* Sound knowledge of food safety and bar hygiene practices.
* Fast, efficient, and cool under pressure—you know how to keep up when things get wild.
* Comfortable with basic maths (cash handling, stock checks, etc.).
* Previous experience in bars, restaurants, or entertainment venues = big bonus points.
* A keen eye for detail and the ability to prioritise like a champ.
* Team player energy, but also self-motivated enough to fly solo when needed.
What we're looking for:
We're after more than just bartending experience - we want personality, pace, and presence. Our ideal candidate is:
* Experienced: 1+ year behind a bar in a high-volume, high-vibes venue.
* Warm and engaging: You make guests feel welcome the second they approach the bar.
* Rule-savvy: You know your way around food safety and responsible alcohol service.
* Transaction-tidy: You can handle a busy till and juggle drinks without missing a beat.
* Quirky venue ready: Experience in themed or entertainment spaces is a huge plus.
* Quick on your feet: You thrive in busy periods and love a bit of pressure.
* Positive, funny, and full of good energy - because attitude really is everything here.
Perks of the job:
* Free crazy golf on your days off (obviously).
* Staff discounts on food and drinks.
* Fun team environment where your personality is as important as your pour.
* Flexible shifts and a chance to return for future events/seasons.
