CIVIC. on Eighth | Capitol Hill, Washington, DC

CIVIC. is a coffee + cocktail salon on Capitol Hill. We’ve built the bar—now we’re looking for the right person to help us build a consistent, standout AM cocktail program.

Your lane is cocktail creation and bar team organization. In this role, you get to create and build alongside our Owner/General Manager. It’s a plus if you have coffee experience and education. This person must love teamwork and creativity.

We’re currently operating as a daytime bar and will expand hours as revenue grows.

This is not a Beverage Director role. Wine/beer and distributor relationships are handled internally for now. Your focus is cocktails, execution, and team standards.

Hours (current)

Tuesday–Thursday, 8:00 AM–3:00 PM

Pay

$20–$25/hour + tips (based on experience)

What you’ll own

Cocktail builds and seasonal features that work for daytime service
Recipe specs + batching + prep systems (labeled, dated, consistent)
Bar team organization: station setup, mise en place, flow, readiness
Training and service standards so drinks taste the same every time
Opening/closing routines and clean, professional bar operations
Cocktail inventory needs (spirits/liqueurs/mixers/garnishes/syrups) and weekly ordering requests

You’re a fit if you…

Have 3+ years bartending experience (lead/training experience preferred)
Can execute classics fast and accurately
Can create a few signatures that are service-friendly (not 9-step science projects)
Are organized (checklists, pars, batching, labeling)
Hold standards without ego or drama
Barista experience/education is a plus (we’re coffee-first during the day and cross-support matters)

Growth opportunity

This role has immediate room to groom—more hours and expanded leadership as CIVIC. scales.

How to apply

Email your resume + a short note about availability/experience to: salonforthecity@gmail.com
(Optional: include 1–2 drinks you’re proud of or a menu you’ve contributed to.)

Pay: $20.00 - $25.00 per hour

Benefits:

Flexible schedule

Work Location: In person
