JOIN OUR TEAM
Cook with care. Serve with intention.
Be part of something real.
Basil & Bourbon was built on a simple belief:
good food and genuine hospitality can change the way a day feels.
We’re a small, hands-on restaurant in downtown Bolivar focused on honest ingredients, thoughtful execution, and creating a place where guests — and staff — feel known and valued.
If you’re looking for a fast-food job, we’re probably not the right fit.
If you’re looking for a place to grow, learn, and take pride in your work — keep reading.

-
A kitchen and dining room built on respect, communication, and standards
-
Room to learn and grow, whether you’re early in your career or refining your craft

People come first. Food is how we take care of them.

Details matter.
