We are on the hunt for a Cocktail Bar Manager with a passion for theatrics and creativity to deliver exceptional service in this unique concept

As Bar Manager it will be up to you to drive our vision, provide and thrive as a smooth operator in a fun and lively environment. You will need the ability to build, lead and mentor your team of bartenders, orchestrate the service style, and make your mark on the hospitality landscape.

  • A positive and respectful management style that will set the benchmark for a dynamic team
  • Excellent communication, multi-tasking and problem-solving skills
  • An ability to train and nurture staff is critical, to ensure longevity
  • Attention to detail is also important, an almost obsession with all touchpoints of the visitor experience as it relates to the restaurant, with the pro-active nature required to make improvements as necessary.
  • Candidates must be available weekends & evenings as bulk of trade during this time

What do we offer…

Aside from a competitive salary, this is an exciting opportunity for a Cocktail Bar Manager to join a fast-growing, locally-owned company committed to staff development and a fantastic workplace culture. Work / life balance is a priority at Nokturnl – alongside staff development and the support of a strong team.
