Summary
The Mad House is expanding — and we’re looking for a hands-on, ambitious Assistant Bar Manager to join our Dean Street team, home to Newcastle’s best Bottomless Brunches.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone ready to take on a key leadership role in a busy venue, develop their management skills, and grow alongside a brand that's going places.
What’s in it for you?
£30,000–£33,000 salary plus excellent service charge
A clear path to grow into a full Venue Manager role as we expand
Real input into business decisions and brand development — your ideas will shape the future
Discounts across both Mad House venues (food, drink, events)
Service charge paid monthly — no waiting around
Birthday day off — paid
Personalised development plan and access to external training (WSET, leadership courses, etc.)
Structured shifts with a focus on healthy work-life balance
Regular team socials and rewards for hitting goals
Who we’re looking for:
A confident leader who builds a strong, positive team culture
Experience in a supervisory or management role within a busy, high-energy venue (brunch or events experience a bonus)
Highly organised — confident assisting with stock, rotas, budgets, and service standards
Passionate about the full guest experience, not just the numbers
Ambitious and driven to step up as the brand grows
Key responsibilities:
Supporting the Venue Manager in the day-to-day running of The Mad House Dean Street
Leading and motivating the bar team to deliver excellent service
Assisting with stock control, venue standards, team rotas, and cost controls
Ensuring every guest leaves with a great story to tell
Working closely with the senior team to drive business growth and brand evolution
About us:
The Mad House is all about mad drinks, mad scran, and mad vibes — served with energy and heart. We’re an independent brand with two Newcastle city centre venues and big plans to grow. We invest in people who want more than just a payslip — we’re looking for team members who want to build something with us.
