Bartender Jobs

Bartender roles in Singapore span cocktail bars, hotel bars, restaurants with a drinks programme, and high-volume nightlife venues — covering drink preparation and service alongside stock rotation, garnish prep, bar setup, and managing a queue through peak hours.

Full-time bartender roles typically advertise S$2,400 to S$3,200 a month on current listings (November 2026), with senior and head bartender roles reaching S$4,500 or more. Late evenings, weekends and public holidays are standard. Every listing here is free to browse and apply to.

Do I need a licence to bartend in Singapore?

No personal licence is required. Venues hold their own liquor licences and are responsible for compliance, including refusing service to anyone under 18.

Can I start with no experience?

Barback is the usual entry point — stocking, ice, glassware, and prep — with progression onto the bar once you know the service flow. High-volume venues hire barbacks more regularly than cocktail bars do.

Are there part-time bartender jobs?

Yes. Bars, restaurants and event caterers regularly hire part-time bartenders for evening and weekend shifts. Browse part-time F&B jobs to see them alongside other shift work.
