With a base salary of up to £35K DOE and OTE of £45K, this is a fantastic opportunity to shape the bar experience in one of the South Coast’s most vibrant and exciting venues.

You’ll be the face of our lounge and bar service, hosting guests with flair, driving standards, and inspiring your team to deliver unforgettable moments.

Who we are…

The Jetty, located on the ground floor of the five-star Southampton Harbour Hotel in Ocean Village, is the sister restaurant to our multi-award-winning venue in Christchurch.

Celebrating the South Coast’s finest flavours, The Jetty pairs the freshest local seafood with seasonal New Forest produce and our bar is the perfect complement, offering a vibrant destination for pre-dinner drinks, relaxed lounge service, and cocktail indulgence.

Harbour Hotels is a collection of prestigious, design-led properties across coastal, country, and city locations. Named AA Hotel Group of the Year in 2018, we’re continuing to grow our reputation for luxury, innovation, and outstanding hospitality.

The role…

As Bar Manager, you’ll take full ownership of our bar operations, working closely with the General Manager and Restaurant Manager to deliver exceptional guest experiences and drive commercial success.

• Creating a sociable, welcoming atmosphere where guests feel truly looked after
• Driving sales through creative drinks offerings and upselling opportunities
• Managing stock and costs to protect profitability
• Contributing fresh ideas to keep our drinks menu exciting and relevant

We’re looking for someone with:

• At least 2 years’ bar management experience in a high-end restaurant, cocktail bar, or luxury hotel
• A genuine passion for hospitality, mixology, and guest engagement
• Strong knowledge of spirits, cocktails, and wines—WSET qualification is a bonus
• A natural flair for hosting and creating memorable guest moments

What’s in it for you…

We believe in looking after our people just as well as we look after our guests. Here’s what you’ll enjoy as part of our crew:

• Competitive salary package: Up to £35K base - OTE £45K
