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
