The role

Join one of London's most established hospitality brands.

Are you an experienced Bar Manager ready to lead a busy team, drive standards, and create unforgettable guest experiences?

Big Easy opened its first restaurant on King's Road and quickly became known for its Southern-inspired BBQ, fresh lobster, and vibrant live music atmosphere. Over the years, we have built a loyal following and expanded across London while staying true to what makes us different: generous hospitality, bold flavours and a buzzing bar culture.

We are proud of our history and excited about our future.

We are now looking for an experienced Bar Manager to lead our bar team and play a key role in delivering exceptional service, strong team culture and commercial success.

Our People

At Big Easy, hospitality is a team effort.

  • We support each other.
  • We communicate openly.
  • We hold high standards.
  • We celebrate success together.

Our restaurants are busy and energetic, but behind the atmosphere is structure, professionalism and pride in the details.

Many of our managers have progressed from within, and we are committed to developing our people.

If you enjoy leading teams, creating a positive culture and working in a fast-paced environment, you will feel at home here.

Who we are looking for

  • Minimum 3 years' management experience within a busy bar environment
  • Strong cocktail, wine and spirits knowledge
  • A confident leader who can inspire and develop a team
  • Passionate about guest experience and service excellence
  • Organised, reliable and commercially aware
  • Comfortable managing rotas, stock, ordering and labour costs
  • Calm under pressure and able to lead busy services
  • Hands-on, proactive and leads by example

We are looking for someone who wants more than just a management role. Someone who takes ownership, supports their team and helps drive the business forward.

What you will do

  • Lead and develop the bar team to deliver exceptional service
  • Create a positive and high-performing culture
  • Ensure drinks are prepared consistently and to brand standards
  • Manage stock and ordering and minimise wastage
  • Control labour costs and support business targets
  • Train, coach and develop team members
  • Maintain excellent health, safety and licensing standards
  • Work closely with the senior management team to drive performance
  • Create energy and atmosphere that keeps guests coming back

This role is not just about running a bar. It is about building a strong team and creating memorable experiences for our guests.

What you will gain

  • Flexible scheduling to support work-life balance
  • No late-night finishes
  • Proper staff meals on duty
  • Generous team discount across our venues
  • Structured training and development
  • Clear progression opportunities across our sites
  • Real opportunities to grow within a well-established brand
  • Work in a fast-paced, high-volume environment with strong earning potential and career progression

We invest in our people and promote from within wherever possible.

If you are ready to lead, inspire and build your career with a respected hospitality brand, we would love to hear from you.
