Bartender

Overview

The Alchemist is an industry leading cocktail bar and restaurant that pushes the boundaries on theatrical cocktails, exciting serves and amazing team members. Our menu boasts over 50 signature cocktails designed for theatre and guest interaction. We employ techniques such as dry-ice, spherification, clarification, carbonation and flavoured edible-airs. We serve drinks on fire, in lightbulbs and in edible cups. We believe training is the most important part of ensuring a team member feels comfortable, valued and respected.

All bartenders begin by learning the role of the bar support, as it is fundamental for a well-rounded bartender to know each ingredient inside the drinks they create. Our bartenders are paired with a highly qualified trainer for three weeks to ensure familiarity with our recipes and to provide ongoing support before they are signed off.

Whether you are brand new to bartending or already a professional seeking a new challenge, we strive to ensure you and your guests have the best possible experience.
