Here’s what we’re looking for in you:

Previous experience as a Senior/Lead Bartender (team leader, supervisor, or head bartender).

A love for all things drink-related, cocktails, coffee, tea, spirits, beer, and wine - along with a desire to share this passion and keep on learning.

Knowledge of classic cocktails and modern techniques (a must-have).

Strong interpersonal skills, you’re confident behind the bar and have a great ability to connect with guests.

You’re looking for a place to be yourself; no suit-and-tie clones here.

No big egos: we leave our ego at the door and work together to get the job done.

Additional Information

More about us….

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night.

We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
