Job description

Cocktail Bartenders – Events & Brand Activations

We're growing our events team and looking for experienced cocktail bartenders to join us. You'll be behind the bar at some of Melbourne's most exclusive weddings, brand launches and corporate functions, crafting quality cocktails while bringing energy, showmanship and genuine hospitality to every guest interaction. These roles start as casual, but for the right people with the drive to grow with us, there's real potential for one or two standouts to move into a more senior, full-time position within the business, taking on greater responsibility across our bar operations, stock and cellar management, and mentoring the wider team.

Key responsibilities

  • Preparing and serving cocktails to a high standard, front and centre at premium events
  • Bringing personality and flair to service, not just technical skill
  • Working comfortably with theatrical elements (smoke, liquid nitrogen, performance-style service)
  • Representing the Mister Bartender brand at luxury weddings, corporate events and activations
  • Working as part of a small, tight team to set up, run and pack down bar service
  • Keeping your section clean and compliant with RSA and food safety standards throughout service

About you

  • Solid cocktail-making experience, ideally in events, hospitality or high-volume bar settings
  • Comfort performing and engaging with guests, not just serving them
  • Current RSA certification (Victoria)
  • Reliability and professionalism. You'll often be the face of the brand at high-profile events
  • Availability on weekends, with events also running on weekdays
  • Your own reliable transport is a bonus given event locations vary across Melbourne

Bonus points: strong mixology skills or your own drink development experience aren't essential, but they'll definitely stand out to us. Prior experience with stock or cellar management, training junior staff, or running a bar's day-to-day operations is also highly valued, as we're keen to develop someone into a senior operational role.

We'd genuinely love to see photos or a short video of you in action behind the bar, flair, cocktail presentation, or bringing some theatre to a service. Feel free to include a link to your Instagram, portfolio or a video file with your application.

About us

Mister Bartender isn't your average mobile bar. We create premium cocktail experiences for weddings, corporate events, brand activations and private celebrations across Melbourne, working with names like Ferrari, Dior, Cartier, F1, Mercedes and Fendi. Our service is theatrical rather than transactional; think liquid nitrogen, smoke effects, staff in character, and bartenders who move with the music and genuinely connect with guests. We're not looking for someone to just pour drinks. We're looking for someone to perform.

  • Casual rate as per the Hospitality Industry (General) Award, commensurate with experience, plus weekend and public holiday penalty rates
  • A genuine path to a full-time, senior operational role for the right candidate as the business grows, with the opportunity to lead bar operations and help shape the team
  • Work at some of Melbourne's most prestigious events, weddings and brand activations
  • A creative, high-energy team culture where you're encouraged to bring your own flair and drink ideas to the table
  • Consistent event bookings with a growing premium events business
