Job description
Hallo! Let us introduce ourselves…
The Bierkeller is a multi-site hospitality brand with locations in Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, Birmingham and Grantham. We’re famous for our long benches, two-pint steins and Bavarian bierhaus buzz!
The Bierkeller venues (Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester and Liverpool) are our larger venues, consisting of The Bierkeller Lodge, a space for cocktails, food and live music, Shooters Rack 'n' Roll, our American-themed sports and games bar, and the heart of our venues, The Bierkeller Hall.
Earlier this year, we launched "Klubhaus by The Bierkeller" - a new type of venue, offering the different elements of a larger Bierkeller venue in a smaller space. We opened our first Klubhaus in Grantham earlier this year and might be opening another one before the year is out - but that's our secret for now!
Our venues are incredibly versatile and can adapt to almost any event or occasion - we’ve held conferences and corporate events, birthday parties, weddings, comedy nights, live music, fashion shows, bingo, networking, games tournaments, podcast live recording, talent show auditions, Sky Sports broadcasts - the list goes on and on!
