Bartender

Excalibur Park
Grosse Pointe Park, MI

Competitive Hourly Pay + Tips

Excalibur Park is looking for an experienced, energetic, and outgoing Bartender to join our team.

We're a neighborhood bar with a loyal group of regulars, busy weekends, late nights, events, games, and plenty of personality. We're looking for bartenders who can keep up when the bar gets busy while still making every guest feel welcome.

The right bartender knows that great service is about more than making drinks. It's remembering someone's order, noticing when a guest needs another round, keeping your bar clean and organized, and creating the kind of atmosphere that makes people want to come back.

If you're fast, friendly, dependable, and genuinely enjoy taking care of people, we'd love to meet you.
