Bartender

Hello York

Now recruiting for a Bartender at No.1 York / Pearly Cow York

Do you know your way around a cocktail shaker better than most know their way around The Shambles? Can you mix a martini with precision, pour a pinot with pride, and serve every guest like they’ve just stepped out of a Viking saga or a cathedral tour?

Here at No.1 York by GuestHouse, we’re a small but stylish, family-run boutique hotel, and we’re looking for a Bartender who can bring energy, elegance, and excellent service to our bar team.

This is a full time role working 40 hours, 5 days out of 7.

What you’ll be doing:

• Mixing, pouring, and serving drinks with confidence and creativity
• Creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere for guests — whether they’re locals, tourists, or time-travelling Tudors
• Keeping the bar stocked, spotless, and running like clockwork
• Recommending drinks, sharing stories, and occasionally dazzling with your cocktail knowledge
• Supporting the Pearly Cow Restaurant Floor team during busy shifts

What we’re looking for:

• Experienced behind the bar and confident in a fast-paced environment
• Passionate about great drinks and even better service
• Calm under pressure, quick on your feet, and always guest-focused
• Ready to bring warmth, wit, and a touch of York charm to every shift

If your aspiration is to work for a company that understands you and trusts your instincts when it comes to hospitality and you’ve been looking for this kind of role for a while. Guess what, we’ve been looking for you too!

What’s in it for you!

• Work in a stylish, intimate hotel that feels more like a home than a group of hotels.
• Be part of a small, close-knit team where your ideas matter.
• Competitive pay, and plenty of guest-powered stories.
• An extra holiday day for your birthday.
• All breaks are paid.
• Our team have their own team room - with their own pantry full of food, to use whenever they like. Grab a snack! Plus, get a free meal on shift.
• You can stay/dine with your family and friends in any of our hotels/restaurants/spas at a great discount.
• The satisfaction of turning a city break into a cherished memory.

If you’re ready to raise the bar in a city that’s full of character, apply now. Your next chapter starts here — and it’s served with a twist.
