Cocktail Server

Sage Hospitality • Denver, CO

110d • $15 - $15

About The Position

Rook is your new favorite spot in RiNo, Denver — perched at the top of the Catbird Hotel. A Clubhouse Gone Rogue. Our tagline is “Rounds not Rivals” and we’re looking for people who want to join our down-to-earth crew of cocktail aficionados, slinging classic and playful drinks in a laidback environment. The bar encompasses both an expansive skyline rooftop, as well as an intimate indoor space—we are looking for people who are just as comfortable at a corn hole pit as they are in a cocktail lounge. Catbird is a welcoming independent boutique hotel that’s full of art, heart, and good vibes. This is what happens when you blur the line between hotel and home and add a hefty dose of counterculture. From thoughtful spaces that seamlessly facilitate work/life balance to the lively rooftop with panoramic views, there's a lot to discover here. This position will be posted for the next 30 days, or until it is filled.
