We’re looking for a Bar Supervisor to join the team at Jazz Cafe.

This isn’t just about pouring drinks. It’s about setting the pace for the whole room. The doors open. The bar fills fast. Shakers moving. Ice cracking. The stage warming up. You’re in the middle of it, steady, sharp, in control. Service tight. Energy high. Standards locked in. If you know your classics, care about the details, and can lead a bar through a packed late night, keep reading. Jazz Cafe is one of London’s most iconic music venues. Two floors. Serious sound. Hip hop, soul, jazz, world and electronic artists from rising stars to legends. And a bar that needs to keep up.

What you’ll be doing

Running the bar
You’ll oversee busy evening service from start to finish. Quality drinks. Clean stations. Fast tickets. No corners cut.

Leading the team
You’ll support, train and steady the bar team through high volume nights. You’ll raise standards without killing the atmosphere. High performance, high morale.

Owning the product
You’ll bring solid drinks and cocktail knowledge. Specs followed properly. Garnishes right. Glassware polished. You take pride in what leaves the pass.

Building relationships
You’ll build rapport with guests and regulars. You’ll know when to lean in, when to speed up, when to hold the bar steady. Hospitality that feels real, not rehearsed.

Working with management
You’ll work closely with the management team to keep the offer sharp, competitive and beautifully executed. No stale lists. No lazy service.

What we’re looking for

• Experience supervising a high volume bar, ideally late night

• Strong cocktail and spirits knowledge

• Confidence leading a team through busy services

• Pride in standards and consistency

• Calm under pressure and good with people

What to expect

• Competitive salary plus tronc, paid monthly

• Real progression opportunities

• No uniforms. Bring your own style

Why You’ll Love Working With Us: 

• Food & Social Perks: Enjoy 50% off across our venues (25% at The Parakeet), our annual celebrations and free access to our events and festivals. 

• Career Growth: At The Columbo Academy, we’re here to guide you on a clear path to personal and professional greatness.

• Hero of the Month: Get recognized for your standout work and enjoy a paid weekend off.

• Bar & Restaurant Incentives: Top seller in drinks revenue pockets a £50 voucher.

• Employee Referrals: Bring in talent – earn £1,000 for Chef/Manager referrals or £250 for hourly roles.

• Global Industry Trips: For our top performers and wine experts – your next adventure awaits.

• Pension via Nest: Lock in your future with our pension plan.
