Job Summary
Cotton & Reed, DC's first rum distillery, is hiring bartenders for our flagship tasting room cocktail bar! We run a high-volume craft cocktail program emphasizing draft cocktails, frozen drinks, and the versatility of rum. This is an exciting time as we expand our rum production and events space to an additional location in Ivy City, while gearing up for our busiest summer yet in the Union Market district.

Full-time and part-time positions are available, with weekend availability required. Full-time bar staff average earnings were just north of $80k last year, with an average of 36-37 hours/week.

Tips are pooled in the house on a daily basis, with weekend points averaging $45-$60/hour (on top of the $10/hour tipped minimum rate). Cotton & Reed guarantees at least $20/hr for service shifts (rare, but if tips don't get you there, we make up the difference). Bar prep and distillery assistance (primarily bottling) shifts may also be required.

Full-time staff (30+ hours) are eligible for health insurance with the company paying 75% of the premium. The company matches 401(k) contributions up to 4% of pay.

Holding an ABRA Manager's license or having the ability to get an ABRA Manager's license within 30 days is required of bartenders. The tasting room is open 7 days a week, opening at 4pm Monday through Friday and noon on the weekends; closing at midnight Mon-Thurs; 2am Fri-Sat; and 10pm on Sunday.

Interested parties please email your resume to .
