The highly anticipated Stories hospitality precinct is almost ready to light up Yagan Square… and we’re looking for talented humans to join our opening crew!
Stories is presented by award-winning Perth hospitality operator, Nokturnl; the team who brought you The Old Synagogue / Tonic + Ginger, The Beaufort / Lotus and South Perth’s exciting new venue, The Station / Ludo. We're looking for talented Bar Managers to join our opening team as we prepare to redefine the boundaries of hospitality in the CBD.
Nestled within the depths of Stories lies Fat Controller our clandestine speakeasy. A nod to the neighbouring Perth central train station, this secret bar offers a unique cocktail range and word-of-mouth charm – adding an element of intrigue and sophistication to the Stories experience.

As Bar Manager it will be up to you to drive our vision, provide and thrive as a smooth operator in a fun and lively environment. You will need the ability to lead and mentor your hand-picked team of bartenders. As a key member of the opening team, you will set the service standard, orchestrate the service style, and make your mark on the hospitality landscape.
