Bar Manager

Calling all bar lovers, hospitality legends, and future industry leaders! We're on the hunt for an incredible Bar Manager to lead the team at Daintree Downtown, our rooftop bar in the heart of NYC's Lower East Side. Daintree is part of Parched Hospitality Group, an Australian-owned hospitality group based in NYC, and we've got big ambitions for this little rooftop in Manhattan. We've got an incredible space, an awesome team, and a whole lot of potential. Every day, we're working to create something special: exceptional hospitality, thoughtful and innovative (and seriously kick-ass) cocktails, and an atmosphere that makes people want to stay for one more drink. We want a leader who:genuinely loves hospitality, and..... Is highly skilled at running a tight ship behind the bar. From batching and prep schedules to fresh ingredients, spotless glassware, consistent cocktail execution, and efficient ticket times — you know the details that keep a bar running like a well-oiled machine. You're confident troubleshooting equipment, maintaining high standards, and jumping behind the bar for a shift when needed. Loves people. You bring great energy to the floor, connect naturally with guests, and know how to turn first-time visitors into regulars. Is a natural teacher and coach. You love sharing knowledge, developing talent, and helping your team become the best versions of themselves. Knows how to create an incredible vibe. You understand the little details that make a bar feel special, and you know how to keep that energy going throughout service. Really knows their stuff. Spirits, wine, beer, mixology, bar setup, equipment, service flow, operations — you understand what makes a bar run brilliantly, and you're confident jumping behind the stick to show the team how it's done. Can turn things around when they go wrong. You're calm under pressure, great at guest recovery, and know how to transform a disappointing experience into a memorable one. Leads from the floor, not just the office. You're hands-on, hardworking, organized, and happy to roll up your sleeves alongside your team. Has big ambitions. You love the industry, stay curious, keep learning, and get genuinely excited about the idea of building a bar that becomes a destination in the NYC cocktail scene. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who believes in a people-first culture. At Parched Hospitality Group, we care deeply about our teams, our guests, and the communities we're part of. We want someone who shares those values and understands that the best hospitality starts with happy, supported, and inspired people.
