JOBS AT LUCKYS

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 Lucky’s and why you might like to work here.

Lucky’s opened its doors in January 2018. The idea was to create a fun, cosy neighbourhood bar, art space, pizza joint and back yard, a place where we could have our pals around, play music, stick our heads under the taps etc.

So far so good… more or less. We’ve had our challenges. Year 1 was tricky, years 2 & 3 we found our feet. The pandemic was, em...troublesome but we are open, with a great crew of regulars and new faces.

We are looking for people with a combination of bar experience (ideally 1 year plus), skills (cocktail, bar etc) and, most importantly, a great attitude towards guests, coworkers, food & drink, learning, hospitality, ideas and innovation.

We want to build and sustain a team that makes Lucky’s come to life and create a genuinely great local bar and addition to the Dublin pub scene.

Here are some things to consider about Lucky’s, bullet-pointed for your pleasure. If this appeals to you then please read the job specs below and send your CV to manager@luckys.ie

What Lucky’s is

  • A neighbourhood bar in The Liberties

  • A place that offers interesting drinks, great pizza, good music and a very nice yard

  • A place with an emphasis on community, including regular art exhibitions; music events and parties; and a place for groups to hold creative events

MANAGERs WAnted

We are looking to recruit management-level people to join the team across our pubs.

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@luckys.ie, making sure to include ‘manager position’ in the subject line.

 

STAFF wanted

We are always scouting for talented new people to join the staff here at Lucky’s. Great bar staff, in our opinion, have genuine care and attention to the needs of customers and their fellow staff members as well as an eye for detail with the lights, sounds, cleanliness and overall feel of the bar.

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 Lucky’s sounds like somewhere you would like to work, then here’s what we can offer:

Upfront

  • €12.50 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.

  • 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, Teelings Whiskey, Hopfully, Rascals, Winelab, Two-Fifty Square Coffee.
