Full Job Description

Riggs Washington DC sits on the iconic downtown corner of Penn Quarter’s 9th and F Street in a historic building once home to Riggs National Bank. Each of the Hotel’s 181 guest rooms offers a playful nod to the building’s legacy. Riggs is home to the all-occasion European brasserie-inspired restaurant Café Riggs, as well as Silver Lyan – a subterranean bar from the internationally acclaimed Ryan Chetiyawardana, also known as Mr Lyan.

The Café Riggs Bar Manager is responsible for leading and inspiring the bar team to deliver exceptional hospitality and memorable guest experiences while maintaining the highest standards of service, beverage quality, and operational excellence. This role oversees all aspects of bar operations, including staffing, financial performance, inventory management, beverage programming, and team development.

Partner with leadership to establish and achieve financial goals.

Beverage Program & Quality Control

Curate and maintain a creative, diverse, and high-quality beverage program that reflects Café Riggs' culinary vision and guest preferences.
Collaborate with the culinary team to develop seasonal cocktail menus and beverage pairings.
Ensure consistency in recipes, presentation, execution, and quality through ongoing training and recipe adherence.
Maintain accurate inventory levels, ordering schedules, and vendor relationships.
Stay informed on beverage industry trends, emerging products, and innovative techniques to continuously enhance the guest experience.

Develop educational materials, training guides, recipe manuals, and operational resources for the team.
Schedule regular product knowledge sessions with distributors, wineries, breweries, and spirit partners.
Evaluate training effectiveness through observations, guest feedback, performance metrics, and practical assessments.
Encourage professional certifications and continuing education in hospitality and beverage programs.
Promote cross-training opportunities with restaurant and culinary teams to strengthen collaboration and operational knowledge.
Build a succession plan by identifying high-potential employees and preparing them for future leadership opportunities.
Lead by example through ongoing self-development and staying current with hospitality, leadership, and beverage industry best practices.
