What are the responsibilities and job description for the Bartender position at Unicorn Bar?
Who We Are:
Unicorn Bar is an event venue, bar and eatery that celebrates the intersection of live music, performance, creativity and queerness. We’re a proudly LGBTQ owned and operated space where everyone is welcome and respected — and we’re looking for a new bartender to join our team.
Who You Are:
You’re someone who loves people and knows how to keep a bar flowing with great drinks and great energy. You're confident behind the bar, cool under pressure, and passionate about creating a space where everyone feels seen, safe, and celebrated. Whether you’re mixing up craft cocktails or lending an ear to a regular, you bring warmth, pride, and personality to everything you do.
What You'll Do:
- Mix drinks with flair and efficiency — knowledge of classic and house cocktails is required. Speediness is important, when we get busy, we get busy!
- Greet every guest with warmth, respect, and authenticity.
- Keep the bar clean, organized, and well-stocked.
- ID responsibly and ensure guests feel safe and supported.
- Be a part of maintaining our bar as a welcoming, inclusive, and joyful space.
- Collaborate with our diverse team on events, theme nights, and new drink ideas.
What We’re Looking For:
- Previous bartending experience (1-2 years minimum).
- Strong understanding of and commitment to LGBTQ inclusivity.
- Night and weekend availability.
- A love for music, culture, and community.
- Open-mindedness, a sense of humor, and a team player.
What We Offer:
- A safe, supportive, and creative environment.
- Opportunities to grow and take on leadership roles.
- Staff discounts and regular staff events.
- The chance to be part of something meaningful, fun, and unapologetically queer.
We strongly encourage LGBTQ , BIPOC, nonbinary, trans, and gender-expansive folks to apply. Unicorn Bar is committed to equity and representation — your voice matters here.
We are specifically looking for coverage on Thursdays and Fridays, though schedules may shift. Pay is an hourly rate (commensurate on experience) tips from a pool that all employees participate in.
Interested? Shoot us a resume and a cover letter about why you’d be a great fit, and your favorite cocktail or mocktail to: unicornbarkingston@gmail.com. Thanks! We're excited to hear from you.
