South Africa: Bartender posted by President Hotels

Because every great story deserves a bartender who knows how to shake it up.

At The President Hotel, we know a great bartender is more than a mixologist, you’re a storyteller, a mood-setter, and the spark that turns an ordinary evening into an extraordinary memory. That’s why we’re creating an exciting new opportunity in our Food & Beverage team for a Bartender with flair, personality and passion.

This is not a replacement role, but part of our journey forward as we grow, transform and raise the bar on what hospitality can be.

What’s in it for you?

A chance to craft drinks that surprise, delight and keep the conversations flowing
A team that celebrates individuality, energy and passion
A workplace that rewards your skills with great salaries and thoughtful benefits
An inspiring setting between Cape Town’s buzzing nightlife and the Atlantic Ocean
Daily views of Bantry Bay, an infinity pool backdrop, and a hotel buzzing with style and stories

Your day-to-day

Shaking, stirring and serving cocktails with creativity and consistency
Bringing fun, confidence and warmth to every guest interaction
Keeping your bar as polished and inviting as your drinks
Balancing stock and supplies to keep the service running smooth
Working side by side with your F&B colleagues to create seamless, memorable experiences

What we’re looking for

Matric (Grade 12)
At least 2 years’ experience behind the bar in a hotel, upmarket restaurant or cocktail lounge
South African ID or valid work permit
Strong knowledge of spirits, wines and cocktails, with mixology skills an advantage
A lively personality, a genuine love for people, and a flair for creating moments that feel special
The ability to stay calm and keep the good energy flowing when the bar is buzzing
Flexibility with evenings, weekends and public holidays
Professional grooming and excellent communication skills

Why The President?

Here, your bar isn’t just a counter, it’s a stage. From craft cocktails to sparkling conversations, you’ll help create the magic that makes our guests’ nights unforgettable. With 349 stylish rooms, an infinity pool, world-class dining and event spaces, and one of Cape Town’s most spectacular settings, this is the perfect backdrop for you to shine.
