Food & Hospitality Manager

Treaty City Brewery is one of Ireland’s most exciting independent craft breweries — and we’re proud of it. Based on Nicholas St, we brew great beer, run a thriving bar and events space, and serve a busy daytime trade that keeps the doors buzzing from 8am. That means great coffee, freshly baked scones, hearty toasties — and plenty of our own beer poured to guests who appreciate the setting as much as the pint.

We’re looking for an experienced and passionate Food & Hospitality Manager to take ownership of that daytime offering — leading the team, maintaining quality, managing our Childers Road Prep Kitchen, and delivering exceptional guest experiences every day.

This is a hands-on leadership role with real scope to shape our daytime offering, mentor a talented team, and grow with us as we build the Treaty City brand. You’ll bring the standards and energy of a great hospitality manager — and you’ll thrive in an environment where craft beer is at the heart of everything we do.
