Job Description

Queens Harbour is the most-booked restaurant in Canada. 23,000 square feet. Three massive bars. Up to 3,000 guests a day on Toronto's waterfront. And none of it runs without a great barback.

This is the role that keeps everything moving. You are the backbone of the bar — and if you want to learn the trade, there is no better classroom in this city.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Someone who moves fast, thinks ahead, and takes pride in making sure the people around them never have to ask twice. You're not watching the clock. You're watching the ice bins, the glassware, the garnish trays. You see what's needed before it becomes a problem.

If you want to be in the middle of the best patio season Toronto has ever seen, this is your in.

If you're looking for slow and easy - Queens Harbour is not for you. If you're looking for fast and jam packed - you've found your home.

WHAT THE ROLE LOOKS LIKE

Stocking and replenishing all three bar stations throughout service — ice, glass, liquor, garnishes, mixers
Running product from storage and keeping the fridges organized
Washing and polishing glassware to a consistent standard.
Keeping bar surfaces and floors clean throughout a high-volume service
Helping with prep, garnishes, batches, station setup before doors open
Breaking down bars at end of service with care and precision
Communicating proactively with bartenders when levels are low

WHAT YOU BRING

Experience in a restaurant or bar environment (an asset, not a requirement)
Physical stamina — you'll be moving fast, carrying heavy, and staying on your feet for the entire shift. If you're looking for a slow paced restaraunt, this is not for you!
A team-first mentality and a strong work ethic
Valid SmartServe

WHY QH?

Because the team is the reason we win.

At Queens Harbour we don't just fill positions, we build crews. You'll be working alongside some of the best bartenders in the city, learning on the job, and acompanied by a team of LEGENDARY barbacks.

Best office in Toronto. Electric summer energy. A team that shows up for each other every single shift.

About Queens Harbour

Queens Harbour is Toronto's most ambitious waterfront restaurant. At 23,000 square feet, it sits on the harbourfront featuring an interactive sushi bar, three unique cocktail bars, and Canada's largest retractable rooftop patio.

The restaurant was designed to invoke the feeling of escapism - and it shows. The menu blends Mediterranean and Asian influences into what the team calls MediterAsian cuisine, rooted in balance, and bold flavour, with dishes crafted to be shared and savoured.

For guests, it's become the destination the waterfront always needed. With its palm-frond decorated ceiling, central bar, tiled flooring, and abundance of indoor trees and plants, the space delivers on its promise — a sprawling, 800-seat restaurant that draws people to the waterfront for reasons beyond a walk or a ferry.

For the people who work here, it's a place that moves. The volume is real, the standards are high, and the team is building something that Toronto is paying attention to. The brand is built on social dining, immersive experiences, and a vibrant atmosphere that transitions seamlessly from day to night. That energy starts and ends with the people on the floor.
