Bar Manager – Itinerant Spirits | Full-time | Ballarat, VIC
We built Itinerant Spirits inside a 160-year-old Goods Shed - a distillery, cocktail bar, and restaurant that celebrates craftsmanship, curiosity, and a well-made drink. Now, we're looking for a Bar Manager to help lead the next chapter.
This role is for someone who wants to be part of something that doesn't fit the usual mould. Someone who understands how a great bar runs, sure - but who also knows how it feels. Someone who can lead a team through the rush of a Saturday night, design menus that make people talk, and create a bar that becomes a destination.
What You'll Be Doing
* Running the bar - from staff and service to stock and structure
* Collaborating with our distillers on seasonal, spirit-forward cocktail menus
* Leading, mentoring and inspiring a high-performing bar team
* Managing budgets, costs and compliance with an eye on detail
* Contributing to the broader experience of a venue that blends spirits, stories and food
About You
* Experienced bar leader who knows their way around both classic and contemporary cocktails
* Strategic thinker who can balance creative vision with operational control
* Comfortable in a fast-paced environment and confident on the tools
* RSA certified and well-versed in Vic compliance standards
* Hospitality is in your blood - and you love sharing it with others
Why Itinerant?
We're a venue built on passion and purpose. A distillery where ideas are always flowing, and no two days are the same. You'll have the creative license to shape the direction of the bar, and the support of a close-knit, ambitious team doing things differently in regional Victoria.
This is more than just a job behind the bar. It's a chance to shape something real.
