Craft Bartender, Le Flaneur

Recess is where the everyday takes a break. Recess Hotel & Club is bringing a new kind of hospitality to the heart of Savannah. Housed within the historic Manger Building, Recess blends a 221-room lifestyle hotel with a members club, rooftop pool, French brasserie, wellness club, coworking spaces, and lively social venues—all designed around one simple idea: life is better when there's room to play. Recess is the newest project from Left Lane, the team behind Hotel Bardo Savannah. In just one year, Bardo has earned Condé Nast Traveler's inaugural Triple Crown distinction—recognizing hotels that have achieved the publication's Hot List, Gold List, and Readers' Choice Awards—along with the inaugural Michelin Key designation and recognition from Travel + Leisure as one of the Best New Hotels of the Year. It's this same commitment to thoughtful hospitality and unforgettable experiences that we're bringing to Recess. We're building more than a hotel. We're building a team of people who believe great hospitality is thoughtful, personal, and a little unexpected. Whether you're welcoming guests, creating memorable meals, keeping the operation running seamlessly, or leading a team, every role helps shape the Recess experience from day one. If you're curious, collaborative, and excited by the opportunity to build something from the ground up, we'd love to meet you. Find and seek. Stay here, play here. Welcome to Recess. About The Role Le Flâneur, the signature French brasserie at Recess Hotel & Club, is seeking talented, energetic Craft Bartenders to help shape the personality of the bar. Le Flâneur is polished, lively, and social — elevated without being formal and energetic without becoming a nightclub. Our bar is designed for great drinks, genuine conversation, and a team that brings personality to the room. We are looking for bartenders who understand the craft, move well when business gets busy, and know how to create an experience without making hospitality feel scripted. This is a strong fit for someone who has built real bartending experience in an upscale restaurant, cocktail bar, boutique hotel, or quality high-volume environment and is ready for something more refined without losing the fun of being behind the bar.
