Gohan is looking for a bartender to build our cocktail programGohan is an izakaya on Beacon Hill. Chef Kevin Uehara cooks with Japanese technique and Pacific Northwest ingredients: wild Washington seafood, foraged mushrooms, whatever the season is giving us. We pour sake from small regional breweries in Japan, made by great people. We want our cocktails to be every bit as good as the food.
That s where you come in. We re not looking for someone to make the same classics night after night. We want someone who wants to create drinks that could only come from Gohan, with real identity, built on Japanese spirits and flavors and changing with Kevin s seasonal specials. You d have the room and support to make the program your own.
We re a new restaurant, but we re not a new team. Most of us have worked together for years, and we know how we like to run things: treat everyone who walks in as a guest, look after each other, and do things the honest way. We d like to find someone who wants to stay and grow with us, not just pass through.
You re fun to be around and you bring energy to a room. You re also mature and dependable, the kind of person the team can count on when it s busy and on a quiet Wednesday. You care about your craft and want to build something you re proud of.
