About The Position

1UP Entertainment + Social is a high-energy venue featuring bowling, axe throwing, golf simulators, VR, arcade games, two bars, and an upscale scratch kitchen. We are seeking experienced bartenders for our Friday Latin Night program, which runs from 9pm to 3am. This role involves building and serving a variety of drinks quickly and accurately, managing tabs, maintaining cleanliness, stocking, and handling closing duties. The ideal candidate will have a great attitude, a passion for hospitality, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

Requirements

• 2+ years bartending experience in a high-volume restaurant or bar.
• Working knowledge of craft cocktails, local and specialty beers.
• Great attitude, integrity, and team-player mindset — non-negotiable.
• Good communication skills with guests, the floor, and management.
• Cool-headed under pressure with a genuine passion for hospitality.
• Comfortable serving dining tables alongside bar service.
• Available to late-night program(s) (Latin Night, private events) as scheduled or needed.
• Available late nights, weekends, and holidays, and willing to pick up extra shifts as needed.
• Stand and move for long shifts, lift up to 50 lbs, work hot/cold conditions.
• Age 21+.
• Florida Responsible Vendor / alcohol awareness certification (or willing to get one).

Responsibilities

• Build and serve drinks fast and accurately during our Friday Latin Night program (9pm-3am) — cocktails, beer, wine, and our growing menu.
• Work our Latin Night program (9pm-3AM) with opportunity to work private events, holiday programming as scheduled or needed — these are our highest-volume, highest-tip shifts.
• Know the menu cold.
• Make recommendations, anticipate guest needs, and keep bar tops clean and refreshed.
• Ring tabs accurately in the POS and process transactions quickly.
• Wipe and sanitize bar tops and service areas every 30 minutes.
• Stock, restock, and maintain the bar, beer cooler, and liquor storage.
• Handle close duties with attention to detail — daily prep, par stocking, and end-of-shift cleaning.
• Follow alcohol awareness procedures and flag any concerning guest behavior to management immediately.
• Work in rotation with other bartenders and servers — harmony, not territory.

Benefits

• Competitive hourly + tips from both bar and dining sections.
• 50% off employee discount on meals and attractions.
• Ground-floor growth opportunity — we're building the bar team and promoting from within into lead bartender, bar manager, and beverage director roles.
