At Alamo Drafthouse, our passion is to ensure every GUEST has an AWESOME experience and is EXCITED to come back.  Our bartenders don’t just know how to stir up a mean drink, they know how to give our guests the perfect experience.  They understand how fun conversation, a great movie selection, and positive vibes all contribute to our guest’s ideal drinking experience. 

To be a member of our bartending team; you are a true master of the craft, able to think on your feet, can clearly communicate with others, and are dedicated to quality and great service. As a bartender, you may work directly with guests in our specialty bar or behind the scenes at our service bar. At Alamo Drafthouse, you get paid to do your best work and are encouraged to show your true personality.
