Senior Bartender

Highly competitive pay & tips | World-class beverage program | Real career progression

Full Time & Casual Roles both available

Some bars pour drinks. Ours creates moments our members carry with them long after they've left the room.

Tucked in the heart of Sydney's CBD, The Pillars is a private members' club built for Australia's leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs. Across our restaurant, lounge, bar and event spaces, we deliver hospitality that's personal, precise and unmistakably ours — where a genuine connection matters just as much as a perfectly balanced cocktail.

We're looking for a Bartender who gets that. Someone who knows a great drink is only half the story — the rest is in how you make people feel.

THE ROLE

• Highly competitive pay rates & employee benefits
• A world-class beverage program to learn from and contribute to
• A professional team with genuine career progression

You'll bring warmth, polish and real craft to the bar — reading the room, anticipating what a member needs before they ask, and making every visit feel like it was made for them.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• At least 1 year's bartending experience in a restaurant or cocktail bar setting
• Strong working knowledge of classic cocktails, spirits and wine
• A genuine passion for quality product, paired with engaging, natural service
• The ability to keep a clean, efficient station that reflects a luxury setting
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• An instinct for anticipating what members and guests need before they ask
• Professional presentation and punctuality
• Confidence and fluency in RSA procedures
• A team-first mindset that flexes with our varied service standards

A NICE-TO-HAVE

Strong wine knowledge is a genuine bonus here. If you can speak confidently across varietals, regions and food pairing — or hold a wine qualification — you'll stand out from the crowd. Our beverage program sits alongside an equally considered wine list, and we love a bartender who's just as comfortable talking wine as they are shaking a cocktail.

Above all, you understand that in a private members' environment, discretion, consistency and service aren't just expectations — they're everything.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Genuinely competitive pay and tip rates, reflecting the calibre of service we expect
• A seat inside one of Sydney's most distinctive hospitality experiences
• A calendar of industry perks and experiences, on top of the everyday
• Shift patterns built around real life, not just a roster
• Real input into a growing, world-class beverage program

WHY THE PILLARS

This is your chance to join a growing team inside one of Sydney's most distinctive private member environments. You'll work across beautifully designed spaces — full-service bars, lounges, our restaurant and rooftop event areas — with real exposure to exclusive member experiences, private functions and brand events.

You'll be backed by a team that takes hospitality seriously: professional development, craft, and creating experiences members genuinely remember.

If you're an ambitious bartender who takes pride in your craft and wants to be part of something a little different, we'd love to hear from you.
