Job description

Bartender | El Siete | New Opening |Soho, London

El Pastor, the critically acclaimed family of transportive Mexican restaurants in London, will launch El Siete, an agave-forward cocktail bar beneath its Soho restaurant on Brewer Street, in March 2026.

El Siete ("The Seven") references El Colmillo, the cult Mexico City nightclub opened by Sam Hart and Crispin Somerville in the 1990s. The name and iconography nod to 52 Versalles Street and the place that first inspired their decade-long immersion in Mexico City’s music, design and nightlife.

The drinks programme is firmly rooted in agave culture, shaped by years spent in Mexican palenques, cantinas and destination bars. Expect best-in-class margaritas, original agave-based cocktails and exceptional classics, seven of each, plus seven non‑alcoholic options, alongside a discerning selection of sipping mezcales and tequilas.

Hidden behind a discreet entrance, the low‑lit, neon‑inflected 60‑cover lounge promises a warm, fun and deliciously bewitching night out in the heart of Soho.
