Seeking hospitality-driven individuals to join our collaborative, hardworking, and spirited team. We are currently hiring Bartenders to delight, engage, and serve our guests.
Sacred Souls is the signature lobby cocktail lounge at bohème Hotel. Designed as a gathering place for hotel guests and locals alike, Sacred Souls celebrates thoughtful hospitality, exceptional cocktails, and genuine connection. On the rooftop, perched above East Austin, Higher Spirits pairs bold cocktails, skyline views, and a lively social atmosphere from day to night.
We believe great bars are built on more than great drinks. They are built on people who create memorable moments, anticipate needs, and make every guest feel welcomed and cared for.
We are seeking hospitality-driven bartenders who are passionate about cocktails, spirits, and creating meaningful guest experiences.
At Sacred Souls and Higher Spirits, our bartenders are at the center of the guest experience. This is a hybrid bartending and service role where team members are responsible for both crafting exceptional cocktails behind the bar and providing attentive table service throughout the lounge.
Given the intimate nature of the space, Sacred Souls operates with a floortending model, allowing our team to build genuine connections with guests while delivering a seamless hospitality experience from arrival to departure. Successful candidates are equally comfortable shaking a cocktail, guiding guests through our beverage offerings, delivering drinks to the floor, and creating memorable moments through thoughtful, personalized service.
As a bartender at Sacred Souls and Higher Spirits you are both a craftsperson and a host—responsible for creating exceptional cocktails while guiding guests through a memorable and personalized experience.
This role is ideal for hospitality professionals who enjoy engaging with guests, taking ownership of their section, and delivering an elevated cocktail experience without the traditional separation between bartender and server responsibilities.
At both venues we look for individuals who come to work to be part of a team, not simply fill a shift. We value people who lead with hospitality, genuine care for others, and a desire to create meaningful guest experiences.
Our team members thrive in collaborative environments, embrace feedback, take ownership of their responsibilities, and remain calm, positive, and solution-oriented under pressure. They are naturally curious about spirits, cocktails, and the craft of bartending, while understanding that exceptional hospitality is built on attention to detail and consistency.
Successful team members are comfortable engaging with both hotel guests and local patrons, recognizing that many guests may be experiencing the property, neighborhood, or city for the first time. Above all, they value humility, kindness, professionalism, and believe every guest interaction is an opportunity to create a lasting impression.
Deliver warm, personalized hospitality to every guest.
Prepare and serve classic, contemporary, and house cocktails with consistency and precision.
Develop a deep understanding of our cocktail menu, spirits collection, and beverage philosophy.
Confidently guide guests through cocktail selections, spirit recommendations, and personalized beverage experiences.
Create memorable experiences through conversation, storytelling, and attentive service.
Provide attentive table service throughout the lounge while maintaining ownership of the guest experience from arrival to departure.
Maintain a clean, organized, and visually polished bar environment.
Execute opening, closing, and daily operational procedures with attention to detail.
Manage bar inventory, garnishes, and mise en place to established standards.
Collaborate closely with fellow bartenders, hotel teams, and leadership to ensure seamless guest experiences.
Uphold all TABC, safety, and responsible alcohol service standards.
The ideal candidate has at least two years of bartending experience in a cocktail-focused bar, lounge, hotel, or hospitality environment. They possess a strong understanding of classic cocktails, spirits, wine, and cocktail techniques, paired with a genuine passion for hospitality and guest engagement.
Successful candidates thrive in a hybrid bartending and floor-service environment, communicate effectively, maintain strong attention to detail, and remain organized in a fast-paced setting. Professionalism, composure, and a commitment to continuous learning are essential.
A current TABC Certification and Food Handler Certification are required.
Successful Sacred Souls and Higher Spirits bartenders are more than drink makers. They are hosts, guides, and ambassadors of the guest experience. They create an atmosphere that feels welcoming, effortless, and memorable while maintaining the highest standards of hospitality and craftsmanship.
They understand that every interaction matters—from a guest’s first greeting to their final farewell—and take pride in creating experiences that guests remember long after their visit.
They contribute to a culture of teamwork, professionalism, and continuous improvement, helping to make Sacred Souls a destination for both hotel guests and Austin locals alike.
If you are passionate about cocktails, hospitality, and creating experiences that guests remember long after their visit, we’d love to meet you.
