Horseshoe Bay Resort • Stratford, ON

About The Position

The Queen’s Cue, a Marriott Tribute Portfolio Hotel, is seeking engaging and experienced Apothecaries - Bartenders to join our Food & Beverage team in Stratford. Historically, an Apothecary was a skilled keeper and creator of carefully blended remedies, tinctures, and tonics - a fitting namesake for those crafting the pours and potions behind our bars. From the crafted elegance of The Queen’s Bar to the spirited atmosphere of the Boar’s Head Pub, private dinners, and special events, our Apothecaries will help create distinctive experiences across the property. This role goes beyond making exceptional drinks - it is about reading the room, creating genuine connections, sharing the stories behind what we serve, and turning each visit into something guests remember.

Requirements

• Previous bartending experience in a restaurant, hotel, cocktail bar, or similar hospitality environment is strongly preferred.
• Valid Smart Serve certification is required.
• Valid Food Handler Certification is required.
• Strong knowledge of cocktails, spirits, beer, wine, and responsible alcohol service.
• Strong communication skills with the confidence to engage guests, make recommendations, and create genuine connections.
• Ability to manage multiple guests and orders in a fast-paced environment while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.
• Experience using POS systems and handling guest payments accurately.
• Strong organization and cleanliness standards, including maintaining a fully stocked and service-ready bar.
• Ability to safely lift, move, carry, and place items weighing up to 25 lbs.
• A collaborative, team-oriented approach and willingness to support events, private functions, and other Food & Beverage operations as required.
