Bar Descriptions/Positions
0 Bar Support - If you like variety and moving around, you may like this position. You will provide support to the Volunteer Bar Managers (shirts with “Bar” on them), as needed. This may include giving bathroom breaks to bar volunteers, jumping behind a busy bar during a peak period, restocking cups or pitchers, filling in if we have a no-show, checking with the Volunteer Bar Managers and inside Cash Bartenders if they need anything, and drinking beer at each bar stop to ensure the product is not foaming and meets quality standards (partly kidding on this last one, otherwise you will end up not performing any of the other bar support duties, LOL). This position only exists on Saturdays 4-8pm and 8pm-midnight.
00 DiningBar-Beer/Wine - This bar is inside the German Club sit-down dinner hall and is quiet. This bar serves beer, wine, and soda. You must be comfortable handling cash and a credit card terminal since in addition to tickets, sales are also made with cash and credit cards.
3a TentBeer3-Inside - This bar can see the tent band but it can be loud. This side of the bar is inside the tent; the other side of the bar is outside the tent and is staffed by an organization.
6a TentCenter-Wine(Kulturgesellschaft) & 6b TentCenter-MixedDrinks(Sportverein) - These bars can see the tent band but these locations can be loud.
6c TentSoftDrink Manager - This location can see the tent band but it can be loud. This is an easy position where you will oversee nice, fun, high school volunteers serving soft drinks. You will keep an eye on the stock and inform a bar manager what needs to be replenished. You must be age 21 or older and drink responsibly during your shift.
7a FrontGarden-Beer & 7b Front Garden-MixedDrinks & 7b FrontGarden-Wine - You can see the Biergarten band but this location can often be loud. There is a half-high wall between the beer and mixed drinks/wine sections. The volunteer at the Mixed Drinks station will pour shots or prepare simple drinks (e.g. gin & tonic) from limited basic liquors (vodka, gin, rum, and whiskey). A shot glass will be available so you don't have to free pour. A Volunteer Bar Manager in the area can help if you have any mixed drink questions. Refer patrons who want complicated drinks or special liquors to the Cash Bar inside the Club barroom.
8 BackGarden-Beer & 8 BackGarden-Wine - This bar is quieter and often less busy than the other bars. There is no wall between the beer and wine section of the Back Garden Bar, so wine and beer volunteers can hang somewhat close together.
