BAR LEE 

BAR MANAGER

So you’ve run good bars before, now it’s time to run the bar.

You’re not new to this game.

You’ve been in the trenches, you’ve closed big nights, you’ve trained up green staff and made ’em shine.

You’ve tasted more espresso martinis than you’d admit to your mum, and you can spot a weak pour from across the room.
But you’re over half-arsed operations, corporate clipboards, and being just another cog.

You want your own show — something you can own, shape, lead, grow.
Welcome to Bar Lee.
We’re not some soulless chain. We’re the bar people tell their mates about. Where the drinks are world-class, the lighting’s moody, the vibe’s warm, and the crowd? solid. No tools, no trouble.
This gig’s for the bar manager who wants to make their mark — who’s ready to take the reins and build something unforgettable. If that’s you, read on.

About Us

Bar Lee is Echuca’s go-to for cocktails, food and good times. We don’t do laminated scripts or “please hold, i’ll check with my manager” service. We back our team, we back our craft, and we know what makes a night memorable.
We actually train our staff — proper systems, solid handovers, and room to grow. You’ll never be chucked on shift and told “you’ll be sweet” — we’re better than that.

You’ll work the kind of shifts that make sense for real life. We’re open late but we’re not running till sunrise.
This is a venue where people want to be — staff and customers alike.

You’ll be responsible for:

● managing day-to-day bar ops — clean, sharp, smooth
● setting the tone and vibe each night — music, energy, pace
● mentoring & developing the team — coaching, training, lifting
● running cocktail innovation — new drinks, seasonal twists, consistent classics
● staying across stock, compliance & cost control — no mess, no gaps
● working with kitchen & FOH to make service seamless
● handling any problems that pop up — calm, clear, confident
● driving bookings, table turnover, and experience

Your crew will follow your lead. So it’s gotta be a good one and you’ll have full backing from the owners to do it your way — as long as it works.

Who’s this for?

You live and breathe hospo.

This isn’t your side hustle while you “figure things out.” This is your jam. your lane, your pride.
You’ve worked high-end cocktail bars, busy nights, and high-pressure services — and kept cool.
You don’t flinch when it’s packed. You thrive in it.
You get cocktails, hospitality, numbers, and team dynamics.
You can balance the books and balance a tray.
You want to grow something — not just hold the fort.
You want ownership.
You want to build a team that respects you, and a place you can be proud of.
You show up.
You’ve got presence.
You’ve got polish without the ego.
Sound like you?
