Australia's most iconic whisky bar, The Baxter Inn, is looking for career oriented bartending professionals to join the team. If you have at least five years of proven experience working in quality driven venues and have a passion for delivering exceptional bar service, then we would love to speak with you!

The Baxter Inn is a Sydney institution and after 13 years remains one of the city's busiest bars, featuring blues, whisky and good times. We are looking for a senior bartender with enthusiasm, a positive attitude and devotion to their craft, to join our talented team.

Having won many accolades over the years (Top 50 Bars, Bar of the Year, Whisky Bar of the Year, to name a few) The Baxter Inn remains one of the most awarded bars in the world and this role presents an excellent opportunity for an ambitious bartender looking to grow their skills and experience, with the assistance of a celebrated management team.

The Baxter Inn has one of Australia’s largest rare whisky selections. Our goal is to share this with as many of our guests as possible. We try our best to be approachable, never arrogant or condescending. The customer always comes first. Whisky is our focus, yet our drinks selection is broad. We focus on classic cocktails using modern techniques and methodology. Our beer list is wide-ranging and our wine list is boutique in nature with attention paid to small producers with low intervention winemaking practices.

At The Baxter Inn, we offer many opportunities and benefits, including frequent in house training, internal cocktail competitions, a very attractive salary package, a flexible roster as well as the chance to work with some of Australia’s best hospitality talent.

Our staff benefits include:

• 50% discount for you, plus one guest, at our sister restaurants (Restaurant Hubert, Alberto's Lounge and Le Foote)
• Discounted gym membership
• Dedicated safety, mental health and well being program for you and your immediate family
• Monthly in venue training and info sessions (food, wine and service based)
• Discounts to some of Sydney’s best yoga and pilates studios
• Daily staff meal

An open mind and unpretentious attitude are essential qualities needed to fill this position. An encyclopaedic knowledge of whisky isn't a prerequisite, but a solid grounding on the subject certainly helps - The Baxter Inn hosts weekly whisky training as part of its development program. You will keep learning as you go.
