Job description

We’re a Brisbane-based, small-batch brewery and hospitality group built on a simple idea: forever exploring, forever evolving. Since 2018 we’ve grown from a Newstead brewery into a collection of venues that locals genuinely love. Each one with its own personality, all of them sharing the same DNA. Great beer brewed fresh every week. Bold, approachable food. Spaces that feel considered, welcoming, and genuinely hard to replicate. Today the Range group includes our Newstead brewery and taproom, the sun-soaked courtyard of Patio by Range in Paddington, the cosy neighbourhood comfort of Rays by Range in Camp Hill, The Bethnal, our contemporary wedding and events space, and Neighbour at Gasworks Plaza, our newest local in Newstead.

Neighbour is a neighbourhood bar — welcoming, community-focused, and built around quality food, craft beer, and genuine hospitality. We’re growing, and we’re looking for people who want to grow with us.
