We're Hiring: Bartender / Server

At Slow Pour, we believe in pouring with purpose. We’re a small team holding space for pause, care, and curiosity—one glass at a time.

We’re looking for someone who shares our love of good beer and good company. Someone who doesn’t mind a little hustle but finds just as much meaning in the quiet, unglamorous work that keeps a space running. If you're the kind of person who tidies the bar before you're asked, who lights up talking about a saison aged in oak, and who values small gestures as much as grand ones—you might be who we're looking for.

About Us

Slow Pour is a 40-seat beer bar in Edmonton, tucked into the Westmount neighborhood with intention and heart. We focus on thoughtful beverages, seasonal plates, and the kind of service that’s hard to pin down but easy to feel.

What You’ll Do

🫧 Share what you know – You'll help guests navigate our tap list, tell a good beer story, and share what makes each pour special—with honesty, not a script.

🫶 Keep it human – We value kindness over polish, listening over performing. You’ll tune into guests and help shape their experience with care.

🧼 Pitch in everywhere – Run food, bus tables, polish glasses, restock the fridge—nothing is “not your job.”

👀 Notice and act – You spot what needs doing and do it—no nudge required.

🧠 Stay curious – Whether it’s how a beer was brewed or a better way to carry four plates, you ask questions and chase answers.

✅ Follow the rules – You’ll keep us in good standing with AGLC, AHS, and every other acronym that makes the bar run safely and smoothly.

Who You Are

🌱 A good teammate – You show up with intention, contribute without ego, and know when to take the lead or lend a hand.

🍺 A beer nerd (or nerd-in-training) – You’ve got genuine enthusiasm for craft beer, and probably a bookmarked article or two about bottle conditioning.

🗂 Organized and reliable – You manage your time well, communicate clearly, and follow through.

📅 Flexible – Evenings and weekends are your jam. You can shift gears between slow nights and busy ones without losing focus or care.

✨ Bonus points if you’ve got barista or bartending experience, but a thoughtful approach matters more than a stacked resume.

What We Value

🗣 Clear, kind communication – Whether it's with guests, teammates, or suppliers, you're honest, respectful, and direct.

🤝 Compassion – You show up for others, not just when it’s convenient.

📚 Lifelong learning – From beer styles to service skills, you're into the idea of getting a little better, week by week.

🧾 Integrity – You do what you say you’ll do, and you care about the little things. Even on the quiet shifts.

Details & Requirements

• 2+ years in customer service (bartending/barista experience preferred)

• Basic beer knowledge is great; curiosity is better

• Approx. 25–30 hours/week, evenings and weekends

• First Aid and Food Safety are nice to have, but not essential

• $17/hr + Applicable Tips
