Bed & Breakfast Bartender

Bartender

Stanton House Inn
Greenwich, CT
$22–$24/hour based on experience
Full-Time or Part-Time

This isn’t a high-volume bar job. It’s closer to being the person who sets the tone for the evening — welcoming guests into a beautifully curated lounge, making thoughtful drinks, creating a great first impression, and knowing how to make people feel at home.

We’re building a bar/lounge experience that reflects where we are: local, welcoming, and intentional. That means excellent cocktails, a strong non-alcoholic program, and service that feels personal instead of rushed. If that sounds like work you’d be good at, keep reading.

What You’ll Do

A typical shift focuses on opening the lounge, preparing service, making drinks, and creating a relaxed, polished guest experience. You’ll work closely with the inn team to support a smooth handoff between daytime operations, evening lounge service, and any special events or private gatherings.

Responsibilities

• Welcome guests into the lounge and provide warm, professional service from arrival through departure.
• Prepare and serve beer, wine, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks and light bites with consistency and care.
• Build a thoughtful NA menu and recommend drinks based on guest preferences.
• Learn and speak confidently about local spirits, wines, cider, and restaurants.
• Set up, stock, and close the bar according to checklist and service standards.
• Maintain clean, organized bar stations, glassware, and service areas.
• Handle point-of-sale transactions accurately and responsibly.
• Monitor guest comfort and alcohol consumption, and serve in accordance with all legal and house policies.
• Keep the lounge welcoming, tidy, and ready for guests throughout the shift.
• Assist with inventory, ordering, restocking, and product rotation as needed.
• Help create a memorable guest experience that reflects the inn’s standard of warm, thoughtful hospitality.
