Tillie's Restaurant Bartender
Job Posting Revision: Bartender – Alchemist of Liquid Stories at Tillie’s
Location: Camp Lucy Resort – Dripping Springs, TX
Employment Type: Full-Time
About Tillie’s
Housed in a 19th-century Vietnamese town hall reborn under Texas skies, Tillie’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a crossroads of global flavors and Hill Country soul. Here, bourbon meets lemongrass, and every cocktail is a passport stamp. Our bar? A stage where local honey, Texan whiskey, and stories from far-off spice markets collide.
Your Role: Mixologist of Memories
As our Bartender, you’re not just pouring drinks—you’re crafting liquid narratives. Imagine shaking a cocktail that tastes like a Hill Country sunset or stirring a margarita that whispers of Vietnamese market adventures. Your shaker is your paintbrush, and every glass is a canvas for connection.
This is where craft meets theater, and guests leave with a story in their hands.
What You’ll Create
- Signature moments: Invent cocktails that blend Camp Lucy’s ethos (think: prickly pear meets cardamom, or smoked mescal with Texas grapefruit).
- Guest alchemy: Read a patron’s mood and mix a “Midsummer Night’s Dream” (lavender gin fizz) or a “Hill Country Revival” (jalapeño-infused bourbon smash).
- Bar as sanctuary: Keep your station gleaming like a jewel box—organized, inviting, and ready for Instagram fame.
- Collaborative magic: Partner with chefs to pair drinks with dishes (e.g., a tamarind margarita to dance with chili-lime shrimp).
Who You Are
- A cocktail storyteller with 2+ years in craft bars, speakeasies, or venues where ice is carved, not cubed.
- Equal parts scientist and poet—you geek out over fat-washing techniques and the way a rosemary sprig can elevate a guest’s night.
- A hospitality ninja: Calm during a 50-cover rush, yet attentive enough to remember a regular’s “usual” (extra lime, no straw).
- TABC-certified guardian: You mix joy responsibly, ensuring every sip is safe and memorable.
Why You’ll Love It Here
- Compensation: $13/hour + tips (our guests tip like they’re thanking a wizard).
- Perks with Panache:
- Sip the magic: Discounts on stays at our cottages and meals at Tillie’s (yes, that includes your off-duty espresso martinis).
- Grow your craft: Mentorship from mixology maestros and a path to Beverage Director for those who dream in bitters.
- Care for you: Health/dental/vision for full-timers, PTO to recharge under the Texas stars.
- Team vibes: Family meals where staff debates “best taco pairings” as passionately as Michelin chefs.
