Elevated cuisine, bold cocktails, and a vibrant, performance-driven setting create a chic, social atmosphere where the night naturally becomes the main event.

About the Role

As Bar Manager, you will be responsible for the full bar operation: from designing a world-class beverage menu and training the team, to managing stock and working closely with vendors.

Lead by example on the floor, supporting the team during service
Foster a service culture that aligns with Nicabanos’ standards of excellence

Ordering, Inventory & Vendor Management

Manage all ordering and inventory for spirits, mixers, glassware, and supplies
Maintain proper par levels, ensure product rotation, and minimize waste
Build strong vendor relationships and negotiate pricing or exclusive allocations
Conduct regular inventory counts and track COGs (cost of goods sold)
Ensure full compliance with all health, alcohol service, and tobacco-related regulations

Qualifications

4–6 years of bar or beverage leadership in luxury hospitality (cigar lounges, fine dining, luxury hotels)
Advanced knowledge and certification preferred in whiskey, bourbon, and tequila (e.g., Stave & Thief, WSET Spirits, CRT for tequila, etc.)
Experience with premium tequila and agave-based spirits highly valued
Strong inventory control, ordering systems, and vendor negotiation experience
Proven ability to manage a team, coordinate bar operations, and lead service excellence
