Sake a Gogo is seeking a dynamic, self-driven bartender to take full ownership of our bar.
We recently launched Cat-Tail Hour (4–6pm, Tues–Fri) featuring $2 oysters, and it’s already drawing a strong crowd. This role is at the center of that momentum—blending happy hour energy with dinner service in one continuous, high-impact shift.
This is not a typical bartending role. This is an opportunity to own the bar, build a following, and create an experience.

You will be the bartender on shift, responsible for driving the guest experience from start to finish. This is a one-person bar that requires confidence, autonomy, and the ability to set the tone for the room.
What We’re Looking For
Someone who wants to own their bar and build a loyal following
A warm, engaging personality that makes guests feel comfortable in a space that can feel elevated or unfamiliar
Ability to work independently and direct the flow of service
Passion for hospitality and guest experience
Interest in Japanese spirits, sake, and cocktail culture
Experience with sake and Japanese spirits is a plus, but not required. What matters most is a genuine curiosity and willingness to learn—we will train the right person who is eager to grow.
What Makes This Opportunity Unique
Be the face of a growing, high-energy bar program
Opportunity to build your own following and regular clientele
Blend happy hour volume with dinner service sophistication
Work within a distinctive Japanese-inspired concept
Have real ownership and creative input in the bar experience
Expectations
Lead service with confidence and professionalism
Create a welcoming, high-energy bar environment
Continuously build product knowledge
Execute cocktails with consistency and precision
Take pride in the bar as your space to own and elevate
If you’re looking for a role where you can step up, stand out, and truly run your own bar, we’d love to meet you.
