Full Job Description

About Us

Court Avenue Brewing Company has been serving downtown Des Moines since 1996 as Des Moines' original brewpub. We combine award-winning craft beer, a full-service restaurant, and a high-volume bar in a historic downtown setting. We're looking for a hands-on Bar Manager who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys leading a team while maintaining exceptional guest experiences.

This is a working management position. You'll spend time on the floor supporting bartenders and servers, interacting with guests, coaching employees, and ensuring the bar operates efficiently every day.

What You'll Do

Lead and supervise the day-to-day operations of the bar.
Hire, train, coach, and develop bartenders and bar staff.
Monitor liquor, beer, wine, and NA beverage inventory.
Place beverage orders and maintain vendor relationships.
Control pour costs and reduce waste.
Ensure recipes and drink standards are followed consistently.
Maintain a clean, organized, and health code-compliant bar.
Handle guest concerns professionally and resolve issues quickly.
Assist with hiring, performance management, and disciplinary conversations.
Work closely with the management team to ensure smooth daily operations.
Help develop seasonal cocktails, promotions, and the overall beverage program.
Prep syrups and other nonalcoholic ingredients for the cocktail menu.
Maintain accurate cash handling and closing procedures.
Step behind the bar when needed during busy shifts.

Qualifications

3+ years of bartending experience in a high-volume environment.
Previous management or supervisory experience strongly preferred.
Strong leadership and communication skills.
Experience with scheduling, inventory management, and cost control.
Knowledge of craft beer, spirits, wine, and classic cocktails.
Ability to remain calm and organized during busy service.
Comfortable coaching employees and holding team members accountable.
Nights, weekends, and holidays are required.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who leads by example. The ideal candidate isn't someone who manages from the office—they're on the floor helping the team succeed, building relationships with guests, and maintaining high standards every shift.

You should be someone who:

Takes ownership of the bar's performance.
Holds yourself and your team accountable.
Communicates clearly and professionally.
Solves problems before they become bigger issues.
Enjoys mentoring and developing employees.
Brings positive energy while maintaining high expectations.

Benefits

Paid Time Off
Employee meal discounts
Employee discounts
100% Employer-paid Medical Insurance
Opportunities for advancement
Supportive management team

If you're an experienced bartender ready to take the next step—or an established Bar Manager looking for a new opportunity—we'd love to hear from you.

Pay: $47,000.00 - $50,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Employee discount
Flexible schedule
Health insurance
Paid time off
Paid training

Work Location: In person
