Join our team at Lake Effect Bar and Grill and experience an unforgettable summer in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We are looking for an energetic, positive and friendly bartender to create a fun, welcoming environment and help make every visit memorable. 

While cocktail skills are a bonus, beer knowledge is key.  

As the bartender, your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

  • Daily setup, closing, and cleaning of the bar and dining areas.

  • Inventories and ensures the bar is properly stocked.

  • Greets all guests and helps to create an amazing experience.

The shift we are looking to fill would alternate during the week between opening and closing the bar. 

Lake Effect Bar and Grill is a popular place for the locals, seasonal workers and guests to be after a day full of adventure. Being a bartender, you will quickly meet the locals and meet other seasonal workers from the town. 

Housing is $50 a week, there is a good chance you will have your own private room, however it is not a guarantee. There are several cottages right next to the restaurant that are all dedicated to staff housing. If you are interested in a campsite that is possibly an option depending on availability. 

Whether it's jumping into Lake Superior, looking for agates, hiking, cliff jumping, fishing or admiring the fall colors. Working at Lake Effect Bar and Grill will be a summer season to remember.
