At itison venues, our main mission is to bring great experiences to all of our customers and we are looking for people who are just as passionate about doing this as we are!

As the Bar Manager, you will take responsibility for:

• Overseeing the daily operations of the bars within the venue and ensuring the team are trained/knowledgeable to provide the best service level possible
• Maintaining the high standards that are already in place and looking for ways to improve the bar service

• Working with the management team to maintain a high level of compliance management in areas such as licensing

About the Venue
Our city's oldest bar & restaurant set over three stunning floors; a sold-out ceilidh every Friday night, weddings booked in to our Grand Ballroom through till 2028, an amazing weekly in-house event programme complete with cinema night, our own macaroni appreciation club (SMAC!) and a beautiful outdoor heated courtyard; Sloans has been at the centre of Glasgow life since 1797. 

Loved by locals and tourists for centuries and with a refurbishment and new concept launching for the First Floor, Sloans is busier than ever and continuing to grow.  We’re looking for a Bar Manager that is ready to rise to the challenge and help shape what comes next. 

This role would suit someone in an existing Bar Manager role, looking for an exciting change, or a strong/experienced Bar Supervisor, looking for a step up.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a genuine passion for drink and giving the best service to our customers with at least 2 years’ experience in a busy bar environment.
• Has experience working in a busy venue with lots going on – we have food, drink, group bookings & events so experience working in a similar venue would be beneficial
• Takes their role seriously and can communicate effectively with the team.

• Has a current, valid Personal Licence obtained in Scotland
