JOBS

We are looking for staff at all levels, from management to floor staff, to join the teams across our pubs (Lucky’s, The Circular and a new bar in Dublin 8, opening October ‘21).

You can see the details below, but first…

Why we opened THE CIRCULAR and why you might like to work here.

The Circular & The Other Hand Bar opened in December 2019, immediately and thankfully picking up a great gang of locals and regulars, in for their Daddy’s breakfast, Coke Lane Pizza, and pints with pals…frequently all three on the same day.

We had twelve glorious weeks before the pandemic brought the curtain down in March 2020. We kept busy and had great local support through the various lockdowns. We set up The Decent Drinks Club, Coke Lane Pizza and Daddy’s kept everybody well fed and caffeinated and now are opening again as a venue whole.

The Circular is a solid local bar at its core but with a few different things going on under one roof. A big and bright main bar, a dimly lit craft beer side bar, multiple seating spaces, outdoor areas, an award-winning cafe and pizza operation. We programme local events, quizzes, DJs and regular screenings.

We want to be an all-day neighbourhood joint, where you feel just as comfortable having coffee and eggs at 9am, and a rake of pints with pals at 9pm. Simple!

If this sound like the sort of place you would like to work then please read the job specs below and send your CV to hello@thecircular.ie

 
 

MANAGER WANTED

We are looking to recruit management-level people to join the team across our pubs (Lucky’s, The Circular and a new bar in Dublin 8, opening October ‘21)

The person we are looking for would have at least one year of running a busy bar or restaurant under their belt. They would have experience with the backroom stuff - stock, rosters, sexy spreadsheets etc. - and front of house - running an effective and happy bar team, all the while laser-focused on hospitality and the customer experience.

In short, we want an experienced, sound person, with a keen eye for detail and an innate drive to look after people - staff & customers alike.

Here’s what we can offer:

Upfront

  • A base salary of €35,000+ pa - for senior management level, rising commensurate with your experience.

  • One weekend off every month - We strive to make sure everybody gets two back to back weekend days off every month. And look, sometimes that’s not possible if staff are out sick, or off on extended holidays, but we will always catch you up.

  • No late licences - No super-late nights!

  • Professional learning & development opportunities - we do regular training and site visits with the likes of The Diageo Bar Academy, The LVA, Teelings Whiskey, Winelab, Hopfully, Rascals, Two-Fifty Square Coffee.

  • Creative input - You will have the opportunity to influence the direction of the bars, from drinks to music to design and events. Your opinion will matter.

  • A big, jangly bunch of manager keys

After 6 Months

  • Upward salary review after one year - This will be based on performance and some clear goals that we will lay out.

  • Pension contributions - We will match your pension contributions up to 5% of your salary

  • Bike To Work Scheme - This will save you up to €1,250 on the cost of a new bike

  • Christmas bonus - Lovely Christmas cash, in your pocket.

  • Charity donation on your behalf - we will make a €200 donation to a registered charity of your choice

Please send your CVs to hello@thecircular.ie, making sure to include ‘manager position’ in the subject line.

Ideal candidates would also have a year’s experience working in a busy bar or restaurant, be able to get pints in and cocktails out quick on busy nights, in a calm and efficient way.

If that sounds like you, and The Circular sounds like somewhere you would like to work, then here’s what we can offer:

Upfront

  • €12.90 starting rate - We keep hour hourly rate under review and pay as much as we can afford. 

  • One weekend off every month - We strive to make sure everybody gets two back to back weekend days off every month. And look, sometimes that’s not possible if staff are out sick, or off on extended holidays, but we will always catch you up.
