What are the responsibilities and job description for the Hiring Bar Manager — 45 hrs/week, $60K+ DOE, 2 days off position at Kirby Ice House?
Bar & Restaurant Manager — 45 hrs/week, $60K DOE, 2 days off
We’re opening our 5th location in Clear Lake, and looking for someone who actually wants to run a bar—not just babysit one.
This is Houston. It gets busy, it gets loud, and it doesn’t run itself. You’ll be on the floor, leading from the front, handling real situations, and making the place better every day. If you’re looking for a clipboard and an office, this isn’t it.
What the job really is:
- You’re responsible for the bar. Not just when it’s easy—always.
- You’ll lead a team that needs direction, accountability, and consistency.
- You’ll deal with real issues: staffing, customer complaints, slammed weekends, slow midweeks.
- You’ll work about 45 hours a week. Not 60. Not 30. About 45.
- You get two days off every week. We mean that.
What we care about:
- You show up when you say you will.
- You follow through.
- You don’t pass problems off to someone else.
- You can hold people accountable without being a jerk.
- You take pride in running a clean, organized, high-energy bar.
What we don’t care about:
- Corporate buzzwords
- How many “programs” you’ve implemented
- Fancy resumes that don’t match real-world ability
Pay & Benefits:
- $60K depending on experience (and how good you actually are)
- Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
- Two consistent days off every week
- A team and company that’s growing (this is location #5, not #1)
- Room to grow if you prove you can handle more
Who this is for: Someone who’s been in the trenches and wants ownership of something. You don’t need to be perfect—but you do need to care and be able to handle a busy Houston bar without getting rattled.
Who this is not for: Someone who needs to be told what to do every day, avoids tough conversations, or folds when it gets busy.
If that sounds like you, apply. If it doesn’t, no hard feelings.
— Include a quick note about your experience. No need for anything fancy.
