Job Description

About Us

The Upside is not your typical bar. Set in the heart of Mumbles, we've built a reputation for craft cocktails, warm hospitality, and a community feel that keeps people coming back. We're a neighbourhood cocktail bar with personality -- stylish but welcoming, creative yet down to earth.

The Role

We're looking for an experienced Bar Manager to lead our small team and take The Upside into its next chapter. This is a hands-on role where you'll be behind the bar as much as you are managing it, setting the standard for cocktail quality, speed, and service.

Key Responsibilities:

Oversee day-to-day operations, stock, and supplier management. Lead, train, and inspire a small team. Deliver consistently excellent cocktails and drinks. Uphold high standards of service, atmosphere, and compliance. Drive ideas for events, promotions, and community collaborations.
What We're Looking For:

Previous bar management experience (cocktail bar experience essential). Strong knowledge of cocktails, spirits, beer, and wine. A natural leader with a warm, approachable style. Organised, reliable, and able to thrive under pressure. Someone who values creativity and community as much as efficiency.
What We Offer:

Competitive pay (to be agreed based on experience). Opportunity for bonus/profit share arrangements for the right person. A role with freedom to shape menus, events, and the future of The Upside. A chance to be part of a small, independent business with a loyal following.
