Arc is looking for experienced and confident Bar Staff to join our team at Drumsheds, one of London’s biggest live music and electronic events venues, with additional opportunities at major venues and events across London.

This is fast-paced, high-volume bar work. Drumsheds welcomes thousands of customers through its doors, and we need people who can step behind the bar, get stuck in and deliver great service from the start.

Strong previous bar experience is essential.

You’ll need to be confident pouring pints, serving multiple customers, working quickly under pressure and maintaining high standards when the bar gets seriously busy.

What you’ll be doing

• Serving drinks in busy, high-volume event bars
• Pouring pints and preparing drinks quickly and accurately
• Operating tills, mass-dispense and packaged product systems
• Keeping queues moving during peak service
• Delivering great customer service under pressure
• Keeping your bar clean, stocked and ready for service

• Reliability, energy and a strong work ethic
