About Us
229 is one of London's most vibrant and diverse multi-purpose entertainment venues. Since launching in 2007, we've hosted a wide variety of gigs, club nights, comedy, fashion shows, awards, and more — all while supporting grassroots and global talent. We operate as part of International Students House (ISH), a charitable organisation providing housing, support, and community for students from low-income backgrounds.
All profits from 229 go directly to ISH to further its mission — so when you work here, you're making a difference.
The Role
We're looking for an experienced and dynamic Bars Manager to lead and oversee our three bar spaces: Venue 1, Venue 2, and The Thirsty Scholar. This is a hands-on leadership role that requires someone who's passionate about customer service, operations excellence, and team development in a fast-paced, live events environment.

* Oversee smooth bar operations before, during, and after events
* Lead on stock control, supplier management, and accurate reporting via EPOS
* Uphold the highest standards of cleanliness, food safety, and licensing compliance
* Collaborate with event teams to ensure seamless venue and show management
* Drive revenue through product innovation, promotions, and excellent service
* Support marketing, sales, and private hire efforts across all bar spaces

* A Personal License holder (essential)
* Knowledgeable in stock control, finance, EPOS systems, and H&S legislation
* Comfortable with late night and weekend work, and flexible with schedules
* Bonus: Experience with live music or basic tech knowledge (desirable)
What We Offer
* Competitive salary of £37,000 – £40,000 depending on experience
* 20 days annual leave + bank holidays, increasing to 25 days with service
* Company-sponsored health cash plan (after probation)
* £3 meal allowance per shift
* Interest-free annual travel loan
* Generous pension scheme (6% employee / 16% employer contributions)
