OPEN CALL Tuesday 9/29, 3:30–4:30 PM
737 Fulton St, Brooklyn NY — at Fritz Cocktail Bar
Full-Time • 4–5 Shifts per Week • Opportunity to Grow into a Captain Role • Immediate Start
Fritz Cocktail Bar is seeking experienced bartenders to join our team.
We’re looking for hospitality professionals who take pride in great cocktails, thoughtful service, and running an organized, efficient bar — and who are comfortable working both behind the bar and on the floor when needed.
For strong bartenders who are interested in taking the next step, there is a clear path to grow into one of our FOH Captain positions. Captains take on additional leadership and shift responsibilities, receive a higher tip share, and have the opportunity for a fuller schedule and significantly higher earning potential.
You don't need to be ready to become a Captain on day one. We’re equally happy to meet experienced bartenders who simply want to be great at their job. But if you’re ambitious, take ownership, and are interested in developing as a leader, there is real room to grow.
This position will be based primarily at Fritz Cocktail Bar, with cross-training at our sister restaurants, Black Forest Brooklyn. Our team works flexibly across different roles and locations, giving strong team members the opportunity to pick up additional shifts and build a fuller, more consistent schedule.
We’re looking for people who genuinely love bartending and hospitality. While bartending will be the primary focus of this position, this is not a bar-only role. Depending on the needs of a particular shift, bartenders may also work tables or help cover the floor.
We’re looking for people who are happy to jump in wherever they’re needed and see great guest service as the job — whether that happens across the bar or at a table.
THE ROLE
Full-time • Approximately 4–5 shifts per week
Your primary home will be Fritz Cocktail Bar, with opportunities to train and work at our Black Forest Brooklyn locations as additional shifts become available.
At Fritz, you’ll prepare high-quality cocktails with consistency and speed while taking ownership of the bar throughout your shift — from setup and prep to batching, organization, stocking, service, and closing.
You’ll also be expected to be comfortable working on the floor when the schedule or flow of service requires it. We value a flexible, team-oriented approach rather than rigid divisions between “bartender” and “server.”
We’re looking for someone who notices what needs to be done and takes care of it: keeping pars where they should be, making sure the bar is fully prepared before service, maintaining standards throughout the night, helping guests and teammates wherever needed, and setting up the next shift for success.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Prepare consistently excellent cocktails with speed and attention to detail
• Execute cocktails according to recipes and established standards
• Set up and fully stock the bar before service
• Complete daily prep, syrups, garnishes, and batching accurately and consistently
• Monitor pars and communicate inventory and prep needs
• Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient bar throughout service
• Provide warm, attentive table service when working or assisting on the floor
• Move comfortably between bar and floor responsibilities as needed
• Support teammates wherever needed to keep service running smoothly
• Maintain cleanliness, organization, and DOH standards
• Help foster a positive, professional, team-oriented culture
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• Strong cocktail bartending experience in a quality bar or restaurant
• Genuine interest in cocktails, spirits, technique, and the craft of bartending
• Strong hospitality and guest-service skills both behind the bar and on the floor
• Comfortable working both bartender and floor/server shifts
• Pride in prep, organization, consistency, and attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• Someone who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what needs to be done
• Calm, efficient, and organized under pressure
• Professional, reliable, punctual, and accountable
• Flexible, positive, and genuinely team-oriented
• Interest in working across Fritz and Black Forest
• Interest in growing and taking on additional responsibility over time
OPPORTUNITY TO GROW
For the right person, this position can develop into one of our FOH Captain roles.
Captains are experienced, trusted members of the service team who continue to work behind the bar and on the floor while also helping lead the shift. They run pre-shifts, help maintain service and bar standards, follow up on team checklists and responsibilities, and communicate important shift issues to management.
Captain positions come with a higher tip share, a fuller and more consistent schedule, and significantly higher earning potential.
Previous management experience is not required. What matters is becoming excellent at your job, taking ownership, being reliable, setting a strong example for the team, and showing that you’re ready for additional responsibility.
WHAT WE OFFER
• Full-time position with approximately 4–5 shifts per week
• Strong earning potential in a tipped environment
• Cross-training at Fritz Cocktail Bar and Black Forest Brooklyn
• Opportunities to pick up additional shifts across our restaurants
• Clear pathway to a FOH Captain position with higher tip share and earning potential
• Opportunity to develop leadership skills while remaining a tipped hospitality professional
• Opportunity to continue growing within Black Forest Hospitality
• Collaborative, hospitality-focused work environment
Fritz Cocktail Bar is part of Black Forest Hospitality, with three restaurants and bars in Brooklyn.
If you love cocktails, take pride in your craft, enjoy taking care of guests, and want to join a team where you can grow and take on more responsibility over time, we’d love to meet you.
