Bartender/Barback
Swi Lounge
05.2015 - 02.2020
As a bartender in this extremely busy & breakneck neighborhood bar, I was able to sharpen & broaden my skills behind the bar where I learned a lot about liquor infusions, craft cocktails & maintaining a clean & efficient bar throughout the night while at max capacity
As a barback, I was responsible for a ton of bar prep, running food, bussing tables, washing dishes, assisting bartenders with whatever they needed at any given moment & cleaning the bar at the end of each night
Had a blast working as part of a small & highly collaborative team in a fun, fast & ambiance filled establishment full of a mix of regulars & fresh faces
