Bartender at HitchHike – Part-time / Full-time

Welcome to HitchHike – the newest restaurant concept in the heart of The Hague. Here it’s all about flavor, vibe, and that open-road mentality: from Cali bowls to tropical cocktails and laidback surf energy. We serve Cali-Baja Cuisine: sunny, colorful, and always with a twist.
