Stackner Cabaret
The Stackner Cabaret, the Rep’s full-service restaurant and bar, has openings for part-time lobby bartender positions in the Quadracci Powerhouse and Stiemke Studio lobby bars.  Available shifts are Saturdays (matinee and evening performances) and Sunday matinees; additional shifts will occasionally be available. Lobby Bartender applicants must have previous bartending experience. Please keep in mind that these positions are part-time, and that this is not a “typical” bartending job.  It involves only brief interaction with customers (there are no barstools, for instance), and our patrons expect efficient service with a smile rather than a conversation or drink suggestions.  Because there are no late nights, it’s an ideal job for someone who enjoys the theater and is looking for a part-time job for some extra income, but it’s not the kind of bartending job that will pay your rent. For specific details of hours and job descriptions, please email kolsen@milwaukeerep.com
