Job Description

Join Our Team at Reynold’s — Where Elegance Meets Energy

Step into the world of Maria Reynolds—sultry, moody, and irresistibly lively. Tucked inside a chic hotel with multiple dining concepts, Reynold’s is our signature cocktail bar—a velvet-draped, candlelit space where martinis flow, music pulses, and indulgence gets a modern twist. Think: wood-paneled walls, plush green booths, blue carpet underfoot, and a cocktail list built for connoisseurs. With live music, an all-day industry happy hour on Mondays, and luxe small bites like wagyu sliders and lobster rolls, we’re shaking things up in all the right ways.

We’re on the hunt for a Cocktail Bar Manager who can match our energy, lead with style, and grow with us. This is a unique opportunity to helm one of the city’s most talked-about cocktail programs—with potential to expand into the Beverage Manager role overseeing all outlets in our dynamic hotel venue.

Your Role

As Cocktail Bar Manager , you’ll be the heart of Reynold’s. Part creator, part coach, part conductor—you’ll oversee day-to-day operations, develop seasonal menus, and lead a high-performing team with both flair and finesse. Reporting directly to the GM of Food & Beverage Operations, this role is for a leader who thrives on fast-paced service, innovative cocktails, and unforgettable guest moments.

What You’ll Do Run the Show
  • Lead daily operations of the cocktail bar while jumping behind the bar when needed to stay connected to the flow and the team.

  • Oversee FOH service, staff performance, and guest satisfaction.

  • Hire, train, and mentor bartenders and servers to deliver polished, confident service every shift.

Unleash Your Creativity
  • Dream up and launch seasonally driven cocktail menus that push boundaries and turn heads.

  • Standardize recipes, techniques, and garnishes to ensure consistency across all shifts and venues.

  • Host engaging, educational training sessions to get your team fired up about every new pour.

Keep It Smart and Profitable
  • Manage inventory, ordering, and beverage cost controls with precision.

  • Use sales data and guest feedback to refine offerings and maximize profitability.

Build a Culture of Excellence
  • Champion a guest-first, high-energy atmosphere through accountability and empowerment.

  • Cultivate a team that thrives on collaboration, communication, and having fun while delivering excellence.

Collaborate Like a Boss
  • Partner with other outlet leads and hotel leadership to align service, events, and revenue strategies across the building.

  • Bring fresh ideas to the table for activations, pop-ups, and programming that drive buzz and traffic.

What We’re Looking For
  • Proven leadership in a high-volume cocktail or nightlife setting.

  • Mastery of craft cocktails, bar systems, and cost management.

  • An eye for detail, a love of storytelling, and a passion for mentoring others.

  • Strong interpersonal skills and a cool head under pressure.

  • Familiarity with POS systems (Toast a plus) and bonus points for beverage certifications (WSET, CSS, etc.).

Why Join Reynold’s?
  • Competitive Pay – Salary aligned with your experience and leadership.

  • Benefits That Have Your Back – Health, dental, vision, and paid time off.

  • Creative Autonomy – Build and express a cocktail program that’s truly yours.

  • Growth Potential – Step into a pipeline for promotion to Beverage Manager for the entire building.

  • Team Vibes – Be part of a collaborative, passionate crew that works hard and has fun doing it.

  • Industry Perks – Dining discounts, development opportunities, and a front-row seat to one of the city’s most exciting new venues.

Sound like your kind of place? If you’re a creative leader with a love for cocktails, culture, and curating unforgettable nights, let’s connect. This is your moment to shake things up.

Cheers,
The Reynold’s Team
