Join the Summa House Bar Crew
Summa House is Brisbane’s tropical playground in the heart of Fortitude Valley. We host everything from long lunches and birthdays to weddings, live music, and big nights out under the stars. With space for up to 1,000 guests, there is always something happening and we are always on the lookout for casual bar legends to jump in when we need extra hands.
The Role
You will be behind the bar pouring drinks, keeping the vibe high, and making sure our guests are having the best time possible. Some shifts are fast-paced and busy, others more laid-back, but every one of them is about great service, good energy, and teamwork.
What You Will Be Doing
-
Serving drinks with a smile and speed when it is pumping
-
Keeping the bar stocked, clean, and running smoothly
-
Following RSA rules, because fun only works when it is safe
-
Jumping in wherever needed to keep the night flowing
What We Are Looking For
-
Current RSA (must have)
-
Some bar experience helps, but we value attitude over CVs
-
A friendly, reliable team player who thrives in buzzing environments
-
Flexibility to work nights, weekends, and event shifts
Why You Will Love It Here
At Summa House no two shifts are the same. One night it is cocktails in the garden, the next it is a packed-out live set or a wedding under the stars. You will be part of a crew that works hard, has fun, and helps create unforgettable moments for our guests.
