Bartender (RTP)
We are currently accepting applications for part-time bartenders for our RTP brewery & bottle shop. To apply, please email a cover letter and resume to michael@glass-jug.com and katy@glass-jug.com.
The Glass Jug is currently accepting applications for a part-time bartender for our brewery taproom located in the RTP/South Durham area!
At The Glass Jug Beer Lab, our primary purpose is to Foster Joyful Community. We do that by choosing to:
Be mindfully welcoming to all people through friendliness and compassion.
Build excitement around our community through enthusiasm and curiosity.
We are passionate about fostering a joyful, diverse community within our own team and in our neighborhoods. If you’re looking for a work environment that is a little different from the norm, where you are willing to practice the self-discipline of placing these priorities in the focus of your day-to-day life, we want to meet you!
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Make everyone feel welcome and comfortable while at The Glass Jug
Serve draft beer and wine
Stock inventory and organize merchandise, apparel, and to-go beer on a daily basis
Help guests make purchasing choices for on- and off-premise consumption
Change kegs, clean draft lines, and update menus
Help ensure a safe environment for all guests and staff
Fill growlers & crowlers
Follow and properly execute cleaning/sanitation protocols
Other duties as assigned
Applicants often wonder what the difference is between working at our RTP location as compared to our Downtown Durham location.
Downtown Durham is primarily a family friendly, daytime/evening heavy bar. We primarily sell beverages sold for on-site consumption. There is a big variation between really quiet days and insanely busy days. We have more opportunity for training people who are a good cultural fit without as much experience in this setting. Being a self-starter who can keep themselves busy is a must.
RTP is more steadily busy all the time, and, because of our high volume bottle shop, we have higher expectations for beer knowledge out of the gate. Bartenders in RTP also have a strong retail aspect to their work, and the space is a lot more to keep up with, because we have guests on our front patio, in the bar, in our private event space, and in our beer garden.
If you're not sure which location would be a better fit for you, feel free to apply to both and let us know. You can see all open job positions on our website at glass-jug.com/jobs.

Ability to lift 60 pounds unassisted and stand for extended periods of time
