Job description

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Somewhere by Nico is an innovative cocktail bar that looks to redefine what a bar experience looks like by blending storytelling, multi-sensory mixology and experience together. We will look to create a six stage cocktail experience every six weeks, inspired by a 'themed world' that will become Somewhere during that time.

With storytelling at the heart of the experience, guests are transformed into adventurers, with mixologists becoming the narrator, through enhanced narratives in every drink. Its mystical decor will transport you to a dream world that will challenge all your senses throughout a carefully curated two hour experience.

If embarking on a new story every six weeks sounds like a world you'd love to begin your career in, we might just see you Somewhere...
