You'll guide a team of passionate bartenders and servers, ensuring every drink, dish, and detail reflects the sophistication of our brand.

• Curate and maintain an exceptional wine, whiskey, and cocktail program, highlighting both local and international selections.
• Partner with the culinary team to craft thoughtful pairings and seasonal menu updates.

• Ensure every guest encounter feels genuine, elevated, and effortless.
• Maintain top-tier cleanliness, organization, and presentation across all F&B areas.

Requirements

Who You Are

• A hospitality professional with 3-5+ years in upscale bar or restaurant management (hotel experience a plus).
• Deep knowledge of wine varietals and mixology trends - and the ability to share that passion with others.
• A confident leader with a strong eye for detail, style, and guest experience.
• Presentable, poised, and professional - someone who naturally embodies the tone of a boutique hotel brand.
• Creative, collaborative, and excited to build something special.
• Able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 40 pounds and work a flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
