Job Description

Høst is looking for an Assistant Bar Manager to help run our floor. We’re a natural wine bar built around community, curiosity, and good vibes — not pretension. This role suits someone who knows their way around a wine list but cares just as much about how a regular’s evening goes.

What you'll do

Support the Bar Manager in day-to-day floor operations, staff scheduling, and service standards
Help train staff on natural wine fundamentals, our list, and guest-facing scripts
Advise guests on wine pairings and by-the-glass selections with genuine, unpretentious expertise
Assist with wine ordering, stock rotation, and cellar management
Help with planning & executing marketing events
Contribute to menu and drinks list development alongside the management team
Help maintain pricing and margin targets across the wine-by-the-glass program
Step in as MOD (manager on duty) when needed

Job Requirements

What we're looking for

2+ years in bar or floor management, ideally in wine-focused hospitality
Some sommelier training or working knowledge of natural, low-intervention wine (WSET Level 2+ or equivalent experience welcome, not required)
A warm, easy way with guests — able to talk wine without gatekeeping
Comfortable with the operational side: rostering, stock, opening/closing procedures
Genuine enthusiasm for natural wine and independent hospitality
