Every brand in the collection has its own heritage, distinctive character, offering and ambience. By striving for excellence through investing in our people, we drive a passion to deliver outstanding guest experiences.

A bit about what you will be doing:

We’re searching for an experienced and charismatic Bar Manager to lead our bar operation, delivering an exceptional drinks-led experience in one of London’s premium dining destinations. From concept to execution, you’ll shape the cocktail and wine offering, elevate guest engagement, and lead a talented team in delivering smooth and sophisticated service.

Working closely with the General Manager, you’ll be responsible for upholding the highest standards in product, atmosphere, and bar team performance — making your venue a standout destination for pre-dinner drinks, late-night cocktails, and everything in between.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the day-to-day running of the bar, ensuring exceptional service, precision, and guest satisfaction.
• Curate and elevate the cocktail and wine list in collaboration with the wider beverage and operations teams.
• Train, mentor, and inspire the bar team to consistently deliver service excellence and signature drinks.
• Monitor stock levels, purchasing, waste, and margins to optimise profitability and control costs.
• Uphold all licensing, health & safety, and food safety standards.
• Keep current with drinks trends and innovation to ensure the offering remains relevant and exciting.
• Engage with guests on the floor, creating memorable moments and cultivating regular clientele.
• Support the GM with event service, activations, and team development.

Key Requirements:

• Previous experience as a Bar Manager or senior bartender in a premium or high-volume hospitality environment.
• A passion for cocktails, wine, and service — with strong product knowledge and a drive to innovate.
• Natural leadership skills with a track record of developing, motivating, and retaining teams.
• Confidence in bar financials including GP control, stock management, and rota planning.
• A hands-on, service-led approach with a commitment to creating great guest experiences.
• Organised, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented.

At The Evolv Collection, we celebrate diversity in all its forms. We embrace and support individuals from every background, culture, and identity. Join our team where everyone is welcomed, valued, and empowered to thrive
