Service + Events Coordinator / Bartender
Norseman Distillery is looking for a sharp, dependable, hospitality-minded person to join our team in a hybrid role that combines event coordination, service support, and occasional bartending.

This role is ideal for someone who likes both hospitality and operations. Someone who notices details, follows through, communicates clearly, and can stay calm when things get busy.
What you’ll do
help build and adjust the weekly staff schedule
coordinate private event details internally
keep event notes, checklists, and service details organized
help make sure booked events are set up for success
support communication between front of house, kitchen, and management
help with floor leadership and service support when needed
bartend and take service shifts on occasion
help keep standards, timing, and follow-through tight
What we’re looking for
hospitality experience
strong organization and follow-through
good judgment
calm, steady communication
comfortable talking with both guests and staff
able to solve small problems without creating bigger ones
reliable, detail-oriented, and self-directed
able to work both independently and as part of a team
Big plus if you have
bartending experience
private event experience
scheduling experience
shift lead or floor lead experience
bar or restaurant operations experience
What this role is not
not a full GM role
not a pure event sales job
not a pure admin desk job
not a pure bartender role
Compensation
Part-time to start.
Hourly pay based on experience, with occasional tipped service shifts available.

Lead Bartender, Norseman Distillery
Norseman Distillery is looking for a strong Lead Bartender to help run service, support the team, and set the tone on the floor.
This is not just a “make drinks and cash out” bartending job. We’re looking for someone who can lead by example, stay calm under pressure, keep standards tight, and help make sure the room runs the way it should. The right person is fast, dependable, organized, good with people, and able to notice what needs attention before it becomes a problem.
We want someone who takes real pride in hospitality, clean execution, and running a sharp shift. If your style is more standing around, doing the bare minimum, or waiting to be told every little thing, this is probably not the right fit.
What this role owns
Leading bar and floor service during shifts
Making excellent drinks with speed and consistency
Keeping service organized and moving
Helping direct the flow between bar, floor, and kitchen
Supporting and coaching less experienced staff
Opening and closing thoroughly
Keeping the bar clean, stocked, and set up for success
Watching for guest issues and solving them early
Helping maintain standards around sidework, pace, and professionalism
What success looks like
Guests feel taken care of
Drinks are fast, consistent, and well made
The room feels under control, even when busy
Sidework gets done without a bunch of chasing
Closes are clean and complete
Other staff work better when you’re on the shift
What we’re looking for
Strong bartending experience
Great hospitality instincts
Calm under pressure
Dependable and on time
Fast, organized, and detail-oriented
Able to lead without creating drama
Comfortable jumping between bar production and floor awareness
Able to work independently and make good decisions
High standards for cleanliness, prep, and follow-through
Probably a good fit if you are
The one who notices the ice is low, the bathroom needs attention, or the table has been waiting too long
The one who actually closes things right
The one who can keep the team moving without turning everything into a speech
The one guests trust and coworkers rely on
Probably not a good fit if you are
Frequently late
More interested in hanging out than leading a shift
Sloppy with sidework, cash handling, or details
Easily rattled when things get busy
Looking for a place where standards are loose and nobody notices much
