What are the responsibilities and job description for the Bar Manager - The Portrait Bar position at The Fifth Avenue Hotel?
Chef Andrew Carmellini is seeking a BAR MANAGER for THE PORTRAIT BAR located in The Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Led by Bar Director and longtime industry veteran Darryl Chan, The Portrait Bar is an urbane, wood-paneled retreat where guests can enjoy sophisticated cocktails and snack on elevated bar fare by a carved stone fireplace. You never know who’ll you’ll run into at The Portrait Bar.

Chan’s cocktail list is a mix of modern and classic variations that evoke a sense of place. The menu is inspired by our collective travels and offers a fun but centered taste of the world.
