Bar Manager | Washington, DC

A patio-driven bar and restaurant in Washington, DC is seeking a Bar Manager to help lead a lively, guest-forward concept known for its indoor-outdoor energy, strong neighborhood draw, private events business, and approachable style of hospitality.

This is a great opportunity for a hands-on leader who knows how to create a strong guest experience while also keeping the operation tight behind the scenes. We’re looking for someone with a genuine hospitality mindset, strong beverage knowledge, and clear experience with inventory, cost control, events, and team leadership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee day-to-day bar operations and support overall front-of-house flow
  • Lead from the floor with a hands-on, guest-focused approach
  • Train, coach, and develop bartenders and service team members
  • Maintain strong standards across cocktails, wine, spirits, and beverage execution
  • Manage inventory, ordering, and bar costs with strong financial awareness
  • Support private events and group business with polished execution
  • Help maintain cleanliness, organization, and consistency across the bar program

What We’re Looking For

  • 3 Years+ bar management experience in a busy, full-service restaurant or bar
  • Strong background in craft cocktails, wine, and spirits
  • Experience with chef-driven, full-service concepts preferred
  • Proven cost control, inventory, and ordering experience
  • Experience with private parties and event execution
  • Polished, guest-facing presence with genuine hospitality at the center
  • Hands-on leadership style and strong problem-solving instincts

This is a strong opportunity to join a well-regarded DC hospitality group with strong health insurance, and PTO that grows with tenure.
