Bar Manager – Brighton i360
Big venue. Big energy. Brighton seafront.
Brighton i360 is not your average hospitality site - and this is not your average Bar Manager role.
Right on Brighton’s seafront, i360 brings together multiple bars, events, private hires and visitor experiences in one iconic beachfront destination. From busy daytime trade and sunset cocktails to high-energy weekends and packed summer nights, this is a venue that thrives on atmosphere, pace and unforgettable guest experiences.
We’re looking for a hands‑on, high‑energy Bar Manager to oversee the bar operation, lead the team and help deliver one of Brighton’s most exciting hospitality experiences.
The Role
As Bar Manager, you’ll oversee the day‑to‑day running of multiple bar operations across the venue, leading the team through busy services while ensuring exceptional drinks, service and guest experience at all times.
You’ll be responsible for:
* Overseeing daily bar operations and confidently running busy shifts
* Leading, developing and motivating the bar team
* Ensuring cocktail quality, spec knowledge and service standards are consistently high
* Supporting stock control, ordering and labour management
* Driving sales, profitability and guest experience
* Creating a positive, energetic and high‑performing team culture
* Supporting events, seasonal trading peaks and high‑volume services
* Maintaining licensing, compliance and health & safety standards
* Acting as a role model for bartenders, bar backs and floor teams
About You
You’ll already have experience working in busy, high‑volume bars and be confident leading teams in fast‑paced environments.
You might currently be a Bar Manager, Assistant Bar Manager or Senior Bartender ready to step into a bigger, more dynamic venue.
You’ll bring
* Experience in a senior bar or leadership role
* Strong cocktail and drinks knowledge
* Confidence managing busy services and high‑volume trade
* Excellent communication and leadership skills
* Strong organisational and problem‑solving skills
* Experience supporting rotas, labour control and stock management
* Knowledge of licensing, risk assessments and health & safety
* A hands‑on leadership style with great floor presence
* Energy, personality and the ability to stay calm under pressure
Most importantly, you’ll be the kind of manager who isn’t afraid to jump behind the bar, support the team and lead from the front when the venue is at full pace.
Why i360?
Because this is bar life with a sea view - and no two shifts ever feel the same.
You’ll get
* Up to £40,000 salary DOE + service charge and bonus potential
* Up to 50% discount across all Nightcap venues
* The opportunity to work in one of Brighton’s most iconic venues
* A unique beachfront working environment
* Career progression opportunities within Nightcap
* A fast‑paced, high‑energy role with loads of variety
This is not a role for someone who wants to stand back and watch the shift happen.
We need someone visible, proactive and ready to bring energy to the floor while helping create the kind of atmosphere guests come back for.
Ready to lead the bar operation in one of Brighton’s biggest and boldest venues? We’d love to hear from you.
