Good luck!!!

If you are part-time, good luck getting any hours. Only busy when it is sunny and warm, and patio opened. Dead after 8pm. Management only cares to reduce more hours and doesn't communicate well to it's servers.

Pros: Very flexible, can select the number of shifts you get and can usually pick up or drop shifts at ease. Early finish, unless you are the closer, always busy, fun place to work at times. Customers are pretty chill.

Cons: Revolving door of staff, management seems to change hands every couple of months and adapting to new management styles consistently is sort of frustrating. Training provided is very poor if you are new to the industry. Can be overwhelmingly busy at times, especially weekends in the summer.

Working at Bridges was great. The patio is incredible in the summers. Slows down a lot in the winter but I'm sure the new renovated building will keep it busier this winter.

Generally a really positive work environment, great location and chill guests! It gets really busy and sometimes chaotic so it can be stressful, but so is any serving/bartending job. I gained a lot of great experience at this location and also gained a group of friends for life. Can't get much better than that. If you're up for some hard work with a decent pay off, join Tap and Barrel.

Great coworkers, great leadership and communication skills from the senior chef. It offers a lot of opportunity to learn more about the ins and outs of a fast paced restaurant.

Tips were pooled which was frustrating. Was burned a few times by this process.
