General Manager – Brains Old Brewery, Cardiff

Welsh Pub \| Great Food \& Drink \| Live Music \| Sports Simulators \| Proper Cardiff Hospitality

The Old Brewery is looking for an experienced, energetic General Manager to take the reins of one of Cardiff city centre’s newest venues.

Built around Welsh character, great hospitality and a proper pub atmosphere, The Old Brewery celebrates the best of Wales, from Welsh beers and locally inspired food to live music, big sporting occasions and a warm Cardiff welcome.

We’re looking for a GM who can make the venue their own: someone who understands that a great venue isn’t just about what’s behind the bar, it’s about the atmosphere, the people and giving customers a reason to come back.

You’ll have a proven track record in hospitality management, ideally within a high\-volume pub, bar, food\-led or live entertainment environment.

We want someone with personality, energy and ambition. You’ll be comfortable driving sales, controlling costs and managing the numbers, but equally happy jumping behind the bar, talking to customers or leading the team through a packed Saturday.
