EXPERIENCED BARTENDER

Lucky's Iron Door Roadhouse | Jordan Landing, West Jordan, Utah

You Already Know How to Bartend. We're Interested in How You Practice Hospitality.

Lucky's Iron Door Roadhouse is looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely hospitable bartender to join our team.

We're not looking for someone who simply knows how to make drinks.

We're looking for someone who understands the room.

Someone who can handle volume without sacrificing hospitality.

Someone who knows when a guest wants a recommendation, when they want a conversation, and when they simply want another beer.

Someone who takes pride in a beautifully built cocktail, a clean bar, a well-stocked station, and a guest who leaves happier than when they arrived.

If you're an experienced bartender who is smart, driven, responsible, and takes your profession seriously without taking yourself too seriously, we'd like to meet you.

This position offers a competitive hourly wage plus tips, with schedules of up to 40 hours per week.

Applicants must be 21 years of age or older and have a minimum of five years of bartending experience with professional references.

About Lucky's Iron Door Roadhouse

Lucky's Iron Door Roadhouse opened in Jordan Landing in 2019 as the second home of the award-winning burgers that began with Lucky 13 in Salt Lake City.

We serve brunch, lunch, dinner, handcrafted cocktails, beer, and the burgers our guests have come to know us for.

We're proud of what comes out of our kitchen and what goes into every glass.

But food and drinks are only part of hospitality.

People come back because of how they felt while they were here.

Our bartenders have an enormous influence over that experience.

You're not simply responsible for what's happening behind your bar.

You're responsible for the people sitting on the other side of it.

A Day in the Life of a Lucky's Bartender

You arrive ready.

Your station is stocked. Your bar is clean. You know what's happening in the restaurant, and you're prepared before the first rush arrives.

Then things get busy.

Tickets start printing.

Guests arrive.

Someone needs another round. Someone wants dinner. Someone wants a recommendation. Someone you've never met before sits down beside a regular you've known for years.

You handle all of them.

You make cocktails correctly and consistently.

You acknowledge the guest who just sat down, even when you can't get to them immediately.

You recognize when someone needs something before they have to wave you down.

You communicate with your barback, servers, kitchen, fellow bartenders, and managers.

You keep your station clean while you're working, not just when things slow down.

And when the bar fills up, you don't sacrifice hospitality for speed.

You find a way to deliver both.

Because volume isn't an excuse for lowering standards.

It's when standards matter most.

Who You Are

You've been doing this long enough to understand that great bartending is equal parts craft, awareness, discipline, personality, and hospitality.

You can build a balanced cocktail.

You know your beer, wine, and spirits.

You understand responsible alcohol service.

You can handle several guests and service tickets simultaneously without losing track of the person sitting in front of you.

You don't need someone constantly telling you what needs to be stocked, cleaned, or prepared.

You understand that regulars aren't created by loyalty programs.

They're created because somebody remembered them.

You know that being experienced doesn't mean you have nothing left to learn.

You accept coaching.

You communicate.

You help your teammates.

You take responsibility when something goes wrong.

And you understand that the best bartender in the building isn't necessarily the person who knows the most recipes.

It's often the person everyone wants to work beside.

What You'll Do

• Provide genuine, attentive hospitality to every guest.
• Prepare cocktails accurately, efficiently, and consistently according to house recipes and standards.
• Serve beer, wine, and spirits responsibly and knowledgeably.
• Learn our food menu and confidently make recommendations.
• Maintain a clean, organized, stocked, and professional bar throughout your shift.
• Anticipate guest needs rather than waiting to be asked.
• Manage high-volume service while maintaining accuracy and composure.
• Communicate effectively with bartenders, barbacks, servers, kitchen staff, hosts, and managers.
• Support the people working around you when they need help.
• Follow all alcohol-service laws, identification requirements, and company policies.
• Help turn first-time guests into regulars.

What We're Looking For

• Must be 21 years of age or older.
• Minimum of five years of professional bartending experience.
• Professional references.
• Strong working knowledge of cocktails, beer, wine, and spirits.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, high-volume bar or restaurant.
• Strong communication skills.
• Friendly, confident, and approachable demeanor.
• Dependability and personal accountability.
• Ability to remain composed under pressure.
• Attention to cleanliness, organization, and detail.
• Ability to work collaboratively as part of a team.
• Willingness to learn and accept coaching regardless of experience level.
• Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, and Sundays.

Experience Matters. Character Matters More.

We're specifically looking for an experienced bartender because this position requires someone who already understands the fundamentals of the profession.

But five years behind a bar doesn't automatically make someone a great fit for our bar.

We're looking for the bartender who makes the bar better when they walk behind it.

The bartender guests remember.

The bartender teammates trust.

The bartender who sees the barback getting buried and helps.

The bartender who treats the first guest of the afternoon with the same enthusiasm as the hundredth guest on a packed Saturday night.

The bartender who understands that hospitality isn't something you perform.

It's how you work.

Our Five Standards

Everything we do is guided by five simple standards:

Hospitality
Every guest deserves to feel genuinely welcome, noticed, and cared for.

Quality
Take pride in every cocktail, every pour, every plate, and every interaction.

Consistency
Our guests deserve the same outstanding experience every visit, regardless of who's working or how busy we are.

Cleanliness
A clean, organized bar is part of being a professional. Cleanliness shows respect for our guests, our teammates, and our craft.

Community
Take care of the people around you. Support your teammates, build relationships with our guests, and contribute to the community we're proud to serve.

If these standards describe the way you work, you'll fit right in.

Ready to Join the Team?

We're building careers, not simply filling shifts.

If you're an experienced bartender who still cares about getting better, takes pride in your craft, understands the difference between service and hospitality, and wants to work alongside people who take this profession seriously, we want to meet you.

Our application process is quick and mobile-friendly.
