The Venue
The Gidley, found in Sydney’s CBD on the corner of King and Elizabeth, is an opulent steak house, where fine dining meets semi-respectable displays of gluttony.
As our guests step inside and make their way down dimly lit stairs to the Lounge Bar, an intimate haven of plush furnishings and quiet corners. As their table’s being prepared, guests can enjoy old-school charm with your favourite stiff drink before taking a seat in the lavish Dining Room. Here, is where guests sink their fork into prime cuts and sip on juicy reds while allowing the jovial spirit of golden-age hospitality to unfold around them.
The Role
This is a hands-on leadership position at the heart of the bar. You will be responsible for the consistency of every pour, the confidence of your team, and the experience of every guest. You will operate with autonomy, set the standard by example, and ensure the bar reflects the tone of the venue every shift, without exception.
