Bartender: Neighbor's Bar at NCG Cinema

Neighborhood Cinema

Kingsport, TN • On-site

Full-time

Posted 29 days ago

Job description

About Neighbor's Bar

Neighbor's Bar is the full-service lobby bar at NCG Cinemas – Kingsport. We're not your average concession stand — we offer handcrafted cocktails, batched cocktails, frozen drinks, mocktails, dirty sodas, beer, and wine in a high-energy, guest-first environment. Every shift brings a new crowd of moviegoers ready to kick off their night, and we want bartenders who bring the energy to match.

This is a fast-paced, people-forward role. If you love making drinks, love talking to people, and love the idea of working in one of Kingsport's most unique bar settings — we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

  • Craft and serve cocktails, frozen drinks, mocktails, beer, and wine to guests at the bar
  • Actively engage guests approaching the lobby — suggestively sell drinks and hot food before they even reach the counter
  • Deliver drinks and food to the hot food pickup area as needed during your shift
  • Scan IDs using the provided ID scanner at every alcohol transaction — no exceptions
  • Operate the Vista POS system accurately for all transactions
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and fully stocked bar throughout your shift
  • Open and/or close the bar following established procedures
  • Complete weekly maintenance tasks including equipment cleaning and sanitizing
  • Assist with weekly inventory counts as directed by management
  • Communicate supply needs, equipment issues, or guest concerns to management

What We're Looking For

  • 21 years of age or older
  • Outgoing, confident, and guest-focused — you don't wait for guests to come to you
  • Prior bartending or bar service experience preferred, but not required
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment during show rushes and busy lobby periods
  • Comfortable standing for extended periods and working evenings and weekends
  • Reliable, punctual, and a strong team player
  • Detail-oriented with a commitment to responsible alcohol service

Certification Requirements

All bartenders complete required certifications during the first two days of employment, before performing any bartending shifts.

  • Responsible Alcohol Service certification (Rserving) — completed on company time, paid for by Neighbors Bar

Certifications must remain current throughout employment. No certification = no shift.

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly wage plus tips
  • Varied shifts including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays — aligned with theater showtimes
  • A one-of-a-kind work environment at NCG Cinemas
  • A growing bar program with room to develop your craft
  • Supportive team and clear expectations from day one
  • Free movies — enjoy the full NCG Cinemas experience on us
  • Discounts on concessions

How to Apply

Apply directly through Indeed or stop in and introduce yourself. We review applications on a rolling basis and will reach out to schedule an interview.

NCG Cinemas is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and experience levels.
