Charlie Palmer Steak – Morning Bartender (Part-Time)

Shift Details:
Typical hours are 10:00 AM to 3:00/6:00 PM, depending on the day. This is a part-time position, with the potential to grow into a full-time role based on performance and interest in learning and supporting the other bars on property.

A self-motivated bartender who is comfortable working independently
Strong liquor and wine knowledge (we offer an extensive beverage list)
Ability to manage bar setup, prep, and side duties efficiently
Dependable, professional demeanor with excellent guest service skills
Someone who stays productive during slower periods
This position offers a unique opportunity to connect closely with guests—many of whom are visiting Napa and will look to you for recommendations on wine tasting rooms, restaurants, and local experiences. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys meaningful, engaging conversations and can represent our brand and the Napa community with enthusiasm and knowledge.
Perfect for someone looking to pick up extra hours in the mornings while contributing to a top-tier hospitality experience.
