The Bar Back holds a unique and important role in the restaurant as a service person to not just our guests, but also our staff. As a Bar Back you are responsible for assisting the bartender with the timely and accurate preparation of all cocktails, wine, beer, juice and soda. At no time is a bar back allowed to mix cocktails, but the bar back will regularly be called upon to pour wine, beer and sodas. The bar back is expected to maintain a clean and presentable bar that is stocked appropriately for service. You are responsible for cleaning and polishing all glassware in the bar. Above all, a bar back at THBY assists the bartender to provide safe and responsible service of alcoholic beverages at all times—confirming legal drinking age through acceptable identification, refusing service to guests who are not of legal drinking age or who may be intoxicated, and communicating with management of any incident involving alcohol. As a bar back you must be prepared to take food orders from our guests, preset appropriate silverware and china for each course and anticipate the needs of all bar patrons.
