Job Description

We’re on the hunt for a REAL Publican, someone who lives and breathes hospitality, leads from the front, and brings locals together by creating pub experiences they love.

Sitting on Elizabeth Way, the Elizabeth Tavern is a newly renovated family friendly venue offering great outdoor and indoor areas for our guests to meet.

The Family Bistro offers a wide range of food options from succulent steaks, pub classics and everything in between. Our kids menu and daily food specials ensure great value meals for the entire family.

Our lovely beer garden is shady and comfortable with plenty of seats, perfect for relaxing and soaking in the warm weather. Our Sports Bar is fresh and modern with plenty to offer, including multiple TV screens, pool tables and TAB facilities. Guests can enjoy all the latest sporting moments, shoot a game of pool, or kick back over a casual drink.

Salary:From $92,000 + superannuation + bonus

A day in the life of a Publican:

• You know the locals by name, they reckon you’re one of their own, all while keeping a sharp eye on the P&L.
• You run the place like it’s your own modern-day home, keeping things safe, smooth, and compliant.
• You're the pillar of the local community and the driving force behind a high-performing team.
• You put out fires before anyone even notices there was smoke.
• You bring the vibe, the service, and the smiles – every shift, every day.

Inherent requirements:

This is a hands-on role that involves manual handling and lifting as part of regular duties (e.g. moving stock, kegs, and deliveries). Applicants must have the ability to perform physical tasks safely and efficiently.

About you:

You already know if this is for you. You’ve got the experience, the presence, and the pride it takes to own a pub like it’s been yours forever. You're not just running a venue - you're living the Publican life.

Hold current industry RSA,RSG and Responsible Person Badgequalifications as per South Australian state requirements
