Lounge Bartender

Renaissance • Asheville, NC

1d • Onsite

About The Position

The Renaissance Asheville is a 278 room hotel located in the heart of downtown Asheville, with plenty of greenscapes and sweeping views of the Smoky Mountains. The Blue Ridge Mountains are the perfect backdrop to explore North Carolina's best kept secret. We welcome guests to discover the unexpected as they journey through our neighborhood. The lounge is where guests unwind after a long day — and a great bartender is what makes it worth stopping in. As our Lounge Bartender, you’ll craft cocktails, pour wine, keep the bar looking sharp, and bring the kind of warm, knowledgeable presence that turns a one-time guest into a regular. You’ll handle your compliance with confidence, manage your bar setup with care, and make every person who sits down feel genuinely welcomed. If you love bartending in a lounge setting and take hospitality seriously, we’d love to talk.
