Bartender

Grayze Wine Bar is looking for a warm, personable, and hospitality-driven Bartender to join our team.

We’re a neighborhood establishment in downtown Southington offering thoughtfully selected wines, craft cocktails, shareable plates, and a relaxed, elevated atmosphere. We believe great hospitality is about more than what’s in the glass — it’s about making people feel welcome, comfortable, and excited to come back.

The ideal candidate is someone who:

• Loves connecting with people and creating a genuine, memorable guest experience
• Is warm, engaging, and confident without being overly formal
• Can read the room and anticipate what guests need
• Has bartending experience and is comfortable making classic cocktails
• Has an interest in wine and enjoys learning about different varietals, regions, and producers
• Can comfortably guide guests through our wine list and make recommendations based on their preferences
• Is knowledgeable about responsible alcohol service and follows all applicable requirements
• Takes pride in presentation, cleanliness, and attention to detail
• Works well as part of a small, close-knit team
• Brings a positive attitude and a little personality to the bar

Wine knowledge is preferred, but passion and a willingness to learn are just as important.

What you’ll do:

• Create a welcoming and personalized experience for every guest
• Prepare and serve food & drink with consistency and care
• Make thoughtful recommendations and help guests discover something new
• Maintain knowledge of Grayze’s wine and cocktail offerings
• Engage with guests while maintaining an attentive, professional bar presence
• Maintain a clean, organized, and well-stocked bar
• Handle POS transactions accurately
• Follow responsible alcohol-service practices
• Support the team with opening, closing, and general restaurant duties

What we’re looking for:

Experience: Bartending experience preferred
Wine knowledge: Preferred, but we’re happy to teach the right person
Personality: Warm, personable, curious & hospitality-minded
Availability: Nights, weekends and holidays as needed

At Grayze, we’re building more than a place to grab a drink. We’re building a space where strangers become friends, customers become regulars, and our team feels like family. If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.
