Bartender - London

• Bartender - London* *About The Groucho Club* The Groucho exists to keep Soho's artistic, liberal spirit burning bright, and to champion London's role as a creative powerhouse on the world stage.

A joyful, generous and welcoming space for ideas, creative life and the occasional late night.

Born in 1985 as the antidote to the cloistered gentlemen's clubs of London's Mayfair, The Groucho Club was founded on a radical idea : that good company is the kind chosen by ideas rather than status, that emerging voices belong in the same room as established ones, and that culture is made through conversation, collision and curiosity.

Forty years on, that belief still drives everything we do.

We exist to facilitate the conversations that shape culture now and next, to back the people making it, and to keep Soho generous, welcoming and alive to creative possibility.

We host, we don't serve.

Members and guests are people we know, not names on a list. *Bartender / Mixologist* We are on the lookout for a bartender with flair, someone who doesn't just make drinks, but crafts moments.

We want a true mixologist who combines technical finesse with a radiant, welcoming energy, the kind that makes members feel at home the moment they step up to the bar. This role is all about hosting, engaging, and creating magic in every pour.

The perfect candidate brings a can-do attitude, a spark of personality, and an instinct for turning simple ingredients into something memorable. Why is this so important? because every cocktail, every smile, every detail behind the bar shapes the experience of our members.
