General Manager | Historic D4 Pub (New Opening)
We are currently renovating a landmark historic pub in Dublin 4, restoring it with a simple aim: to create a favourite local – great cocktails, well-chosen craft beers and wines, and warm, genuine hospitality.
We are looking for a hands-on General Manager to lead this high-profile launch and establish a culture of genuine, consistent hospitality.
The Role
This is a "boots on the ground" leadership position.
Working directly with the owners, you will shape the business from day one – from hiring your team to refining the service style.
You are joining a small, independent group where the success of this site will naturally create future opportunities for the right leader as we expand.
What You'll Bring
Hands-on Leadership:
You lead from the floor, not the office.
You are a visible presence who sets the pace and leads by example.
Commercial Drive:
You know how to build a business.
You are proactive in driving sales through creative events, local promotions, and community engagement.
Financial Acumen:
You have a sharp eye for the numbers – managing GP, labour costs, and stock control to ensure the business is as profitable as it is popular.
Team Development:
You know how to recruit, train, and inspire a team to maintain high standards even under pressure.
Experience:
A proven track record as a Bar or General Manager in a high-quality Irish hospitality environment.
The Day-to-Day
Taking full ownership of daily operations and service standards.
Implementing creative ideas to drive mid-week trade and weekend atmosphere.
Mentoring a new team to deliver warm, confident service.
Managing suppliers, ordering, and rigorous compliance.
Building a loyal local following through consistent quality and atmosphere.
The Reward
Competitive salary and a supportive, direct line to ownership.
The autonomy to put your stamp on a significant Dublin 4 venue.
Long-term career potential as our group footprint expands.
