Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor Mixologist
up to £44,000 per year - Central London
Overview
A Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor accomplished in leading cocktail bars reporting directly to the General Manager.
We are looking for an experienced Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor from a recognised high-street brand to lead a small, speakeasy basement cocktail bar in an independently owned Lebanese and French-inspired restaurant in Central London. You will need at least two years of bar management experience, a considered career that has moved consistently upward, and the kind of hands‑on mixology skills that set a standard for a small team. You will support the leadership of a front‑of‑house team of ten to fifteen colleagues and manage a bar team of three. This is a Mayfair independent now moving towards its third opening — if you are career‑driven, genuinely engaged and looking for a role where you can grow with the business, be central to new‑site openings, and develop in time into a more senior multi‑site position, this is the right opportunity.
Responsibilities
- Full‑time, hands‑on and accountable. Take ownership of the guest experience and service standards within the bar, as well as supporting the wider business administration: health and safety compliance, team training and development.
- Manage bar operations in a seven‑day a week restaurant, with kitchen close times and bar late licence schedule. Fully hands‑on in service.
Qualifications
- Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor with specific experience in cocktail bars.
- Longevity in roles, with demonstrable accomplishments year on year.
- Strong hands‑on mixology with a track record of recruiting and developing a bar team in a known high‑street cocktail bar brand.
- Strong leadership and communication skills; lead from the front, mentor your team, and review and report on weekly performance.
- A genuine eye for detail and a guest‑first mentality.
