Assistant General Manager

The Sovereign is Seeking an Assistant General Manager! 

Located in the vibrant Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., The Sovereign features 50 draft beers and more than 300 bottles meticulously curated by Beer Director Greg Engert. From Trappist Monastic producers whose brewing history dates back hundreds of years to an up-and-coming new generation of Belgian brewers, as well as international and domestic producers of exceptional Belgian-style ales, The Sovereign offers an expansive breadth of selections that illuminate the flavor-driven, craft-brewed complexity that is the trademark of the best Belgian beers. Just as The Sovereign champions brewers who use simple, true recipes and let technique and patience yield complex flavors, so too does our culinary team. The culinary program focuses on rustic, ingredient-driven Belgian and French dishes, such as Dutch-style mussels, braises and stews such as Lapin a la Kriek (Rabbit braised in Cherry Beer), Flammkuchen and Tartes Flambé and other classic regional dishes serve as the core of our seasonally changing menu.
