Bartender

Bartender – The Rustic, The Colony (Opening Team)

Welcome to The Rustic
The Rustic is coming to Grandscape in The Colony, and we’re building our opening team. Born in Uptown Dallas, The Rustic is a Texas original where live music, wood-grilled food, and ice-cold Texas beer come together under one roof. Guests come for local musicians every night, hand-crafted American favorites like The Rustic Burger and Texas Hot Chicken, premium cocktails, daily happy hour, and family-friendly weekend brunch. Whether it’s a night out with friends, a birthday, or a lazy Sunday brunch, The Rustic is where good food, good music, and good people come together.

The Role
Our bartenders are at the center of the action. You’ll pour cold Texas beer, craft premium cocktails, and keep the bar buzzing from happy hour through the last song of the night. You’ll also keep drinks flowing to the floor so our servers can take care of their guests. As part of the opening team, you’ll train with us from day one and help set the tone for a brand-new bar. If you love the energy of a busy bar, take pride in a well-made drink, and know how to make every guest feel like a regular, you’ll play a key role in Creating Remarkable Memories for our guests.

Compensation: hourly wage plus tips.
