  Cookie

  Apr 2007 - Jun 2009

  Cookie seamlessly blends a beer hall, cocktail bar, and modern Thai restaurant into one floor of Swanston Street’s Curtin House. The result is a dynamic, adaptable space that shifts its atmosphere depending on the time of day. On Friday nights, the buzz of after-work drinks fills the air, with patrons vying for bartenders' attention and choosing from a wide selection of micro-brews or one of 350 wines, many available by the glass. In contrast, the smoker-friendly Juliet balconies offer a peaceful retreat on weekday afternoons. For a more intimate setting, a hidden corner serves a variety of cocktails, away from the bustling bar and restaurant area.Roles:- Provided advanced hospitality services, including bartending and customer service, at a premier Melbourne venue.- Assisted with concert event organization, including decoration and idea generation with event planners.- Scheduled rehearsal and performance times for music performers.
