Bar Manager Luxury Hospitality – Cigar Lounge

1 week ago

Miami Beach, Florida, United States Nicabanos Full time $60,000 - $120,000 per year

Nicabanos Cigar Lounge, Miami Beach's premier destination for refined cigars and spirits, is seeking a polished, detail-oriented, and passionate Bar Manager to oversee our elite beverage program. This role is ideal for a spirits expert with deep knowledge in whiskey, bourbon, and tequila, who also thrives in managing inventory, ordering, and premium guest experiences.

This is your chance to lead a luxury spirits program in an environment where craftsmanship, connoisseurship, and elegance are core values.

About the Role

As Bar Manager, you will be responsible for the full bar operation: from designing a world-class beverage menu and training the team, to managing stock and working closely with vendors. You'll act as both a host and a curator—introducing guests to high-end spirits, especially rare whiskeys and tequilas, while ensuring service excellence and operational precision.

Key Responsibilities
Spirits Program & Guest Experience
  • Curate and evolve a luxury spirits list with a strong emphasis on whiskey, bourbon, scotch, and tequila
  • Develop signature cocktails and pairings tailored to complement the cigar selection
  • Engage guests with rich knowledge of spirits, recommending pours, flights, and pairings
  • Host private tastings, education events, and VIP spirit-focused experiences
  • Stay current on global trends, releases, and rare bottle sourcing opportunities
Team Leadership
  • Train and mentor bartenders in luxury service standards and spirits education
  • Lead by example on the floor, supporting the team during service
  • Foster a service culture that aligns with Nicabanos' standards of excellence
  • Enforce cleanliness, bar prep, presentation, and service timing
Ordering, Inventory & Vendor Management
  • Manage all ordering and inventory for spirits, mixers, glassware, and supplies
  • Maintain proper par levels, ensure product rotation, and minimize waste
  • Build strong vendor relationships and negotiate pricing or exclusive allocations
  • Conduct regular inventory counts and track COGs (cost of goods sold)
  • Ensure full compliance with all health, alcohol service, and tobacco-related regulations
Qualifications
  • 4–6 years of bar or beverage leadership in luxury hospitality (cigar lounges, fine dining, luxury hotels)
  • Advanced knowledge and certification preferred in whiskey, bourbon, and tequila (e.g., Stave & Thief, WSET Spirits, CRT for tequila, etc.)
  • Experience with premium tequila and agave-based spirits highly valued
  • Strong inventory control, ordering systems, and vendor negotiation experience
  • Proven ability to manage a team, coordinate bar operations, and lead service excellence
  • Familiarity with cigar pairing and lounge culture a strong plus
  • Excellent floor presence, communication, and guest service instincts
  • POS and back-end reporting experience (e.g., Toast, xtrachef, etc.)
  • Bilingual English/Spanish preferred
