We’re hiring a Bar Manager 🍻

We’re looking for an experienced bartender who can make drinks, lead a staff, handle the occasional curveball, and keep Mad Oak running smoothly—all without disappearing into an office.

This is a part-time, hands-on working manager position. Nights and weekends are required because, apparently, that’s when people like to go to bars.

Know someone who would be a great fit? Send them our way.
