VILLAGE BEACH CLUB – LEAD BAR MANAGER / MIXOLOGIST

Outer Banks, North Carolina

A New Era of Hospitality on the Coast

OG Hospitality is building something rare.

Our mission is to lead a new hospitality renaissance across the Outer Banks—elevating food, beverage, entertainment, and guest experiences to a level not yet seen in this region. We are creating destinations that blend high-quality execution with creativity, culture, and community. Places where both locals and visitors feel something special the moment they arrive.

This is not just about running restaurants and bars.

It’s about building experiences that define a place.

The Opportunity: Village Beach Club

The Village Beach Club is a one-of-a-kind, oceanfront destination in Nags Head designed to become the social and experiential anchor of the Outer Banks.

Resort-style pool overlooking the ocean

Full-service food & beverage program

Daily live music, events, and programming

Cabanas, courts, and curated guest experiences

A blend of locals, members, and vacationers

Our vision is simple:

Create the most dynamic, vibrant, and memorable hospitality venue on the North Carolina coast.

At the center of that experience is the bar.

The Role: Lead Bar Manager & Mixologist

We are seeking a rare individual—someone who views bartending as both a craft and a lifelong profession.

This role is for a true student and innovator of the bar:

someone who respects the classics, understands the science, and pushes the boundaries of what a modern beverage program can be.

You will lead the bar program at Village Beach Club from the ground up.

What You Will Own:

Full creation and evolution of the cocktail program

Development of highly sellable, memorable drink menus

Execution of classic cocktails at an exceptional level

Innovation with seasonal, coastal, and experiential offerings

Bar team hiring, training, and culture building

Cost controls, inventory, and profitability of the bar

Integration of beverage into events, entertainment, and overall guest experience

Who You Are

A craft-driven bartender with deep knowledge of classic cocktails

Passionate about the art and science of mixology

Constantly studying trends and pushing creative boundaries

A trendsetter, not a follower

Experienced in high-volume, high-quality environments

Strong operator who understands P&L, margins, and cost control

A natural leader who can build and inspire a team

Energized by the opportunity to create something from the ground up

Someone who takes pride in building a program that people talk about

Why This Role is Different

This is not a typical bar manager position.

You are not stepping into an existing system—you are helping build the standard.

You will have the platform, support, and creative freedom to:

Design one of the most exciting bar programs on the East Coast

Influence the identity of a flagship hospitality destination

Grow with a company that is expanding across the region

If This Sounds Like You

We are looking for individuals who want more than a job—

people who want to build, create, and lead.

If you are serious about your craft, understand the business, and are ready to be part of something ambitious on the oceanfront…

We want to meet you.
