Skilled Server

Milwaukee’s warmer seasons are upon us and Shakers is looking for experienced servers to add to our team. Our hours are expanding and our full-service rooftop bar will be opening soon. We are looking for both daytime and nighttime servers.

We have immediate openings for experienced Servers with positive wine-service knowledge who are interested in customer satisfaction and in turning sales.

Shakers has long been known for its outside the box application to food and beverage offerings. Think of lovable Pirates more than the Stepford Wives Automatons one generally finds in Milwaukee’s eateries. As a legitimate destination location in the Midwest, we cast a large net for the non-traditional Epicure & Foodie. In our long history, we have been awarded virtually every on-premise award and recognition possible by the national and regional press.

Yes, as in many parts of Europe, tobacco is still an accepted part of gastronomy at Shakers as the City’s only licensed Cigar Bar.

Our work environment includes:

• Lively atmosphere
• Regular social events
• We are customer-centric, professional and fast-paced.
• Competitive pay rate

Servers are expected to provide professional, friendly, and attentive service to our patrons. We pride ourselves on our phenomenal team of bar staff and do our part to make all customers feel welcome and comfortable in our establishment.

Responsibilities:

• Take and serve drink orders from customers.
• Inform customers of daily specials and available promotions.
• Communicate with bar and kitchen staff to ensure orders are ready when they reach the bar.
• Clean and wash bar equipment and tables, restock bar items.
• Curate premium cigar orders
• Learn and use our high-end espresso machine for coffee orders
• Manage credit card transactions.

Full-service restaurant experience or actual serving experience at an upscale bar is required.

About us

Shakers Cigar Bar & Hangman Tours is a small business in Milwaukee, WI. Located in Milwaukee’s historic and critically-acclaimed Walker’s Point neighborhood. We have offered patrons an unique and unforgettable savoir-fare for decades. Sitting atop what was once a cemetery, this former cooperage operated as a speakeasy and brothel during Prohibition under the ownership of the legendary Capone brothers.

Proudly serving a myriad of local, national and international guests since 1986, our mission has always been to provide high-quality fare, libations, and cigars for those that wish to combine a fun and enjoyable ambiance with authentic worldly cooking, exquisite service, and an unparalleled list of vintage spirits and wine into one extraordinary experience.

Whether it be our live band performances, one of our 5 quirky, guided historic and ghost tours, or an overnight stay in our brothel-turned-Airbnb, we strive to be so much more than just a “bar”, and see to it that each of our guests is captivated and enthralled the moment they walk through our doors.
