Stones Throw isn't just a bar and restaurant — it's a waterfront escape where nostalgia comes alive, one fresh catch and creatively crafted cocktail at a time. We're looking for a General Manager who can lead with the same warmth and energy that makes our guests feel like family the moment they walk in. If you thrive on high-volume service, love building a team that genuinely cares about hospitality, while backed by a passionate hospitality group, this is your chance to make Stones Throw your own little slice of paradise to lead.
The Opportunity
Stones Throw is now hiring an experienced General Manager for our waterfront bar and restaurant. This is a leadership role with real scope. You'll own the full operation — the team, the culture, the guest experience, and the bottom line. Our bar moves fast, so we need a GM who's comfortable running a high-volume bar: managing peak-hour rushes, keeping speed-of-service tight without sacrificing quality, controlling pour costs, and keeping the energy up for both guests and staff when the room is packed.
