Swillhouse is seeking Bartenders to join its collection of iconic bars, including The Baxter Inn, Shady Pines Saloon, Caterpillar Club and Curtains. This role is ideal for a hospitality qualified with strong cocktail and spirits knowledge who thrives in busy service environments, values craftsmanship and attention to detail, and enjoys creating memorable guest experiences.
