What We’re Looking For Experience: Minimum 2–3 years in a bar leadership or supervisory role.
Availability: Ready to start ASAP. Must be able to work evenings, weekends, and holidays.
Skills: Strong knowledge of spirits, classic cocktails, and cellar management. Proficiency in POS systems and Excel is a must.

Why Join Us? Direct Hire: You are a permanent employee of the company from Day 1 (no agencies).
Competitive Salary: Commensurate with experience, plus performance-based bonuses.
Growth: We believe in internal promotion and professional development.
Creative Freedom: Have a say in the menu and the direction of the bar.
