Beverage Manager

BRAZEN RESTAURANT GROUP Beverage Manager Bog & Barley | East Memphis, TN | Full-Time, Salaried Build the bar program you’ve always wanted to run. Bog & Barley is Memphis’ authentic Irish pub and restaurant on Poplar Avenue — a room built from woodwork and furnishings shipped straight from Ireland, a whiskey collection that draws from around the world, and a kitchen that takes traditional Irish recipes somewhere modern. We’re looking for a Beverage Manager who wants to own that bar: the menu, the numbers, the team, and the guest experience behind it. This is a true leadership seat, not a head-bartender title. You’ll build and evolve the beverage program, run the vendor and pricing side, train and schedule the front-of-house team, and work alongside the General Manager on the day-to-day operation of the restaurant. As Brazen Restaurant Group grows, so does the runway for the person in this role. Benefits Health insurance Opportunity for advancement Paid time off 401(k) matching Bonus based on performance Competitive salary What you’ll do Create the program. Own the cocktail, whiskey, beer and wine lists. Bring what’s working in top markets to Memphis — whiskey flights and pairings, draft and batched cocktails, seasonal spritzes and low/no-ABV options, espresso martini-era crowd pleasers — and make it feel like Bog & Barley. Run the numbers. Manage vendor relationships, negotiate pricing, set menu pricing, run weekly inventory and cost reviews, and hit pour-cost and labor targets. Lead the team. Hire, train, schedule and develop bartenders and servers. Build the training that makes every guest interaction feel like a great bartender is behind it. Help run the house. Serve as the GM’s right hand on daily operations — opening and closing, floor leadership, guest recovery, and the events program (whiskey dinners, tastings, private parties). What you bring 3+ years leading a bar or beverage program in a high-volume, full-service restaurant or bar (Beverage Manager, Bar Manager, Lead Bartender with management scope, or equivalent). Real depth in spirits — whiskey especially — plus a working command of beer, wine and cocktail technique. Comfort with the business side: pour cost, inventory, menu engineering, POS and inventory software, scheduling tools, P&L conversations. A coach’s mindset. You’ve trained people, written a schedule that works, and held a standard without losing the room. Able to work nights, weekends and holidays, and to be on your feet for a full shift. What we offer Competitive salary, based on experience. Health insurance and benefits package. 401(k) with company match. Paid time off that accrues from day one. A growing, owner-operated group with three Memphis-area concepts (Bog & Barley, Celtic Crossing, Maeve’s Tavern) and room to move up. #J-18808-Ljbffr
