BARTENDER NEW OPENING | BIRMINGHAM
We are incredibly excited to be bringing Blacklock to Birmingham this April, opening in a beautiful listed building in the heart of a city we've long admired and longed to be part of.
Blacklock was born from a love of great food and fantastic experiences, championing the Chophouse and all its traditions: unpretentious, familiar, and above all else, open to all.
WHY WORK FOR US
All our restaurants have been voted in the Top 100 restaurants in the UK, but more importantly, they are happy places to work.
We're passionate about building meaningful careers for our teams, serving the very best of British produce, and delivering genuine hospitality from people who truly care.
At Blacklock, we strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone can be true to themselves, feel valued, and have equal opportunities to grow. We are committed to cultivating a diverse team that respects a variety of voices, identities, backgrounds, and experiences because when our team thrives, so does our philosophy: everyone leaves happy, including you

YOUR ROLE AS A BARTENDER
You'll be part of a team that delivers genuine hospitality - warm welcomes, thoughtful service, and doing the simple things really well. We care deeply about what we serve, from properly made classic drinks to a well-chosen drinks list, and we're looking for people who share that pride.
If you enjoy looking after guests, work well as part of a team, and pay attention to the small things that matter, you'll fit right in. Experience behind the bar matters, but so does a natural sense of care, curiosity about drinks, and taking pride in what you do.
We'll support your development and give you the opportunity to grow with us as we open in Birmingham.
If this sounds like your kind of place, we'd love to hear from you.
