Bartender

The words

‘mad’ and

‘nice’ don’t usually go together — unless you’re at Mad Nice , where the unexpected feels just right.

Now over two years in, Mad Nice has become a Detroit destination — where Italian roots meet coastal California ease, and vintage hospitality is served with a side of Motor City flavor. Our space is where farm-fresh ingredients, fermented wonders, and handmade pastas mingle under mid-century lights and coastal-chic vibes. We’re stylish but low-key, timeless yet modern, sweet

and salty — just like the city we call home.

We’re proud of what we’ve built — and now we’re growing our team.

The Role : Bartender

The bar at Mad Nice is more than a station — it’s a centerpiece. Our bartenders help shape the guest experience with creativity, warmth, and attention to every last detail. We’re looking for someone who understands that cocktails are both craft and hospitality — someone who can build a drink and a vibe with equal finesse.

Our bar program is inspired by the California coast and Italian soul, all with a Detroit edge. Seasonal, local, and ingredient-forward — we care about freshness, technique, and delivering consistently excellent drinks that reflect our evolving menu and story.

What We’re Looking For :

A minimum of 1 year of bartending experience (fine dining or high-volume preferred)

Comfort with classic cocktail technique and spirit knowledge

Attention to detail with recipes, pours, and presentation

High-level organizational skills and clean work habits

Ability to manage a full bar top, service well, or station with efficiency and poise

Strong communication and ability to collaborate with team members and guests

A passion for food, wine, beer, and spirits — and a hunger to keep learning

A sense of ownership, pride, and professionalism in your craft

Calm under pressure and a can-do, solutions-first mindset

You Might Be Mad Nice If You :

Understand that hospitality is about people, not just process

Thrive in fast-paced, detail-driven environments

Love combining timeless technique with modern energy

Are always looking for ways to elevate the guest experience

Bring good energy and want to be part of a tight-knit team
