What are the responsibilities and job description for the Barback position at Beerhead Bar & Eatery?
\Beerhead Bar & Eatery began in 2012 as …. “The Beer Market,” a corner-bar American craft beer concept aiming to marry a cool, casual vibe with a curated craft beer list — almost 500 bottles and 40 on tap. Forty taps soon became 50 at the rebirthed Beerhead Bar & Eatery monikered locations, also adding a simple, yet carefully planned “upscale bar food” menu. With the new name and feel, the concept retained its corner bar feel and motif while expanding its locations and offerings.
Local appeal and a local focus have become synonymous with the Beerhead brand. Musicians, amature home brewers, and master brewers alike can be found mingling with neighborhood regulars at Beerhead exemplifying the founders’ vision. The vision was to create a space where communities can come together to enjoy great food, drinks, and entertainment all in a relaxed atmosphere.
The ever-changing world of craft beer, cocktails and food options provide a platform for Beerhead to experiment and to keep innovating.
