Premiere Vancouver Island Destination Hiring Bartendar

Framed by sweeping views of the Salish Sea and Coastal Mountains, our dining venues are shaped by both location and perspective. The refined Ocean7 Restaurant and the relaxed AQUA Bistro & Wine Bar take their names from the ocean’s depth and breadth and from a culinary philosophy inspired by all seven continents.

Our culinary team blends skill, tradition, and imagination to create menus rooted in the wild, seasonal bounty of Vancouver Island. Each dish reflects a deep respect for local ingredients and culture, while embracing global influences in thoughtful, creative ways.

Our wine list presents a curated balance of British Columbia’s most compelling vineyards alongside a remarkable selection from around the world, thoughtfully chosen by our sommelier and passionate team. At the bar, cocktails are crafted with intention — a mix of coastal character, housemade infusions, local botanicals, and a hint of daring, resulting in drinks that are as expressive as they are refined.

We are looking for a Bartender to join our team. Our bar services two dining venues: AQUA Bistro & Wine Bar and Ocean 7 Restaurant. At the Kingfisher, we are known for our stellar service and our spectacular property featuring our world-class hotel, restaurant and spa.
