Cocktail Bartender – Kiln, Newcastle

Evening & Weekend Focus

Kiln is a vibrant cafe, restaurant and cocktail bar based in the heart of Ouseburn, Newcastle. Home to a renowned ceramics studio and a fast-growing reputation for exceptional hospitality, Kiln blends creativity with craft across food, drink and design.

We're looking for a confident, creative and experienced cocktail bartender to join our team. This is a key role within our front-of-house operation – someone who can confidently deliver outstanding drinks service, primarily during evening and weekend shifts.

About You:

  • You're confident behind the bar and thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
  • You have a strong foundation in cocktail making – including classic recipes, house specs and ideally experience with batching and flavour infusions.
  • You're personable, reliable and great with guests – you understand how to create a welcoming and elevated experience without taking yourself too seriously.
  • You enjoy working as part of a tight-knit team and take pride in the details.

Bonus Skills (not essential but very welcome):

  • Coffee experience or barista training – this would allow for occasional day shifts and greater rota flexibility.
  • An interest in drink development or creative input into seasonal menus.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Prepare and serve cocktails to spec with consistency, speed and flair.
  • Work closely with the Bar Supervisor on prep, batching, garnishes and maintaining high standards.
  • Deliver outstanding guest experience – warm, attentive and knowledgeable.
  • Keep the bar clean, organised and well-stocked at all times.
  • Follow all licensing, health & safety and hygiene standards.
  • Be an active and positive presence in service, contributing to the overall energy of the venue.

Perks:

  • Staff food on shift
  • Generous staff discount
  • Friendly, supportive and professional team environment
  • Opportunity to grow and take on more responsibility over time

Interested?

If you're an experienced bartender who wants to work somewhere creative, ambitious and genuinely fun to be part of, we'd love to hear from you. Drop us a CV and a short note introducing yourself.
