The Toucan is looking for a responsible, confident, and personable Door attendant to join our weekend team.

This is a late-night position primarily working 9:00 PM–3:00 AM on weekends, with additional shifts available on select Thursdays, holidays, and special events.

The Door team is an important part of creating a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable environment for our guests and staff. You will be the first point of contact for guests entering the pub and will be responsible for managing the door, checking identification, monitoring the environment, and addressing issues before they become problems.

What We're Looking For:
-19+ and mature, responsible, and dependable
-Comfortable working late nights in a busy downtown bar environment
-Confident speaking with and directing large groups of people
-Able to remain calm and professional when dealing with difficult situations
-Observant and able to recognize when a situation may be escalating
-Friendly and approachable while still being comfortable enforcing rules
-Reliable and punctual, particularly for weekend closing shifts
-Comfortable standing and being active for the majority of the shift
-A strong communicator who works well with the rest of the team

This position is not about being confrontational. We are looking for someone who understands that the best way to handle most situations is through good communication, awareness, and de-escalation. Your job is to help prevent problems, keep an eye on the room, and know when to involve management or emergency services when necessary.

If you're friendly, alert, dependable, and comfortable being the person who helps keep things running smoothly on a busy night, we'd love to hear from you.

🎶🍔 TRAGICALLY HIP WEEKEND ISN’T OVER YET AT THE TOUCAN! 🍔🎶

Today we’re finishing things off with…

🔥 TWIST MY CHUTNEY BURGER 🔥
(Or, for those who aren’t Hip fans, our Mango Chutney Burger 😂)

A juicy beef burger loaded with mango chutney, bacon, jalapeños, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato.

Sweet from the chutney, salty from the bacon, a little kick from the jalapeños, and piled high with all the good stuff.

🍔 Twist My Chutney Burger — available TODAY at The Toucan while it lasts!

🎶🍜 POETS PAD THAI — TODAY AT THE TOUCAN! 🍜🎶

It’s Tragically Hip Weekend, and today’s special is Poets Pad Thai!

A delicious bowl of Pad Thai tossed in Pad Thai sauce with bell peppers, bean sprouts and green onions, finished with crushed peanuts for that perfect crunch.

A little sweet, a little savoury, and a whole lot of Hip. 🇨🇦🎶

🍜 Poets Pad Thai — available TODAY at The Toucan while it lasts!

The Hip’s very first gig was at the Kingston Artists Association Inc. (KAAI) as the band for my Queens BFA program's end of fall term party. A couple of years later The Hip was something of a house band at both The Terrapin Tavern (now the site of The Toucan) and when asked we were only too happy to help out those who had helped us out. We were still playing a lot of cover material in our sets but were making the move towards relying solely on our original material.
The KAAI is now called Modern Fuel and continues to do great work in the Kingston Arts community.
