Bar and Hospitality Manager

Left Hand Collective is looking for an outstanding Bar and Hospitality Manager. A passion for serving others and sharing our beer and food to our customers – all with a desire to learn and grow others – is a must. The ideal candidate will have a natural ability to work well under pressure all while keeping a positive demeanor and staying on task.

The Bar & Hospitality Manager is responsible for leading the bar program, guest experience, and hospitality culture across two unique Denver restaurants: Left Hand RiNo Drinks & Eats and Dry Dock Pub.

This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who loves being behind the bar, on the floor, developing people, and creating memorable guest experiences. While strong beverage knowledge is important, this position is ultimately about hospitality, leadership, consistency, and developing great teams.

This position will work closely with the General Manager and location bar-leads to establish service standards, develop bartenders and FOH staff, improve beverage execution, and ensure guests receive an exceptional experience regardless of which location they visit.

This is not a desk-heavy management position. The ideal candidate wants to be present during service, interact with guests, coach employees in real time, and lead by example.

• 3+ years of restaurant/bar experience.

• Previous leadership, bar lead, supervisor, or management experience.

• Strong knowledge of beer, cocktails, spirits, and bar operations.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

• Comfortable working in high-volume environments.

• Ability to lead with both accountability and empathy.

The Person We're Looking For

- We are looking for someone who understands that great hospitality isn't scripted.

- You should care about the details of a perfectly poured beer or well-made cocktail, but care just as much about whether the person sitting at the bar feels welcomed and the team you curate embodies the companies values You should enjoy teaching people, developing employees, talking with guests, solving problems, and jumping behind the bar when things get busy.

- We want a leader who can hold high standards without creating a rigid or overly corporate environment. Our restaurants should be professional without losing their personality, and our employees should be encouraged to bring their own personality to the guest experience.

 Most importantly, we're looking for someone who takes ownership.

-When the bar is busy, you're there.

-When a bartender needs coaching, you coach them.

-When a guest has a bad experience, you help fix it.
