Bartender

Alpen Haus & The Golf Lodge opens this summer at 13 N Washington in downtown Valparaiso. We are the only authentic German restaurant in Northwest Indiana, paired with a 4-bay Trackman golf simulator lounge under one roof. Our bar program is built to be the best in downtown Valpo: craft cocktails, full German beer hall on draft, allocated bourbons (Eagle Rare, E.H. Taylor, Blanton's), and a serious wine list.

We are hiring experienced bartenders for our opening team.

What you'll do:

Run a high-volume craft bar across two service models (full-service dining plus simulator-bay service). Build cocktails to spec, maintain bar stock and presentation, lead bar-back staff, and own the guest experience at the bar top.

What we want:

2+ years bartending experience in a craft cocktail or upscale environment. Knowledge of classic cocktails and appetite to learn our German-inspired menu. ServSafe Alcohol certification (or willingness to certify on hire). Reliable, fast, clean, and proud of your craft.

Why us:

Brand new build, downtown Valpo location, dialed-in cocktail program modeled on our Carson City concept which already outperforms most NW Indiana bars. Real bar back support. Ground-floor opening team with a real growth path.

Compensation:

Industry-standard tipped base wage plus tips. Strong bartenders at downtown Valpo concepts earn $20 to $30 per hour blended. Final base wage discussed at interview based on experience.

To apply: Submit your resume and a short note on a cocktail you're proud of building.

Pay: $20.00 - $30.00 per hour

Benefits:

• Employee discount
• Flexible schedule
• Paid training

Work Location: In person
