Venue Manager | Dicey's Pub

A new chapter for a legendary local — and your chance to lead it.
Dicey’s Pub is coming to Cleveland.
Cleveland Tavern is undergoing a major transformation, bringing back the spirit of the much-loved Dicey Reilly’s and relaunching as Dicey’s Pub — a warm, character-filled Irish-inspired local built around great food, great people and proper pub hospitality.
Think hearty Irish favourites, pub classics, perfectly poured Guinness, live music, big games on the screens and a beer garden made for long afternoons.
Now we need the Venue Manager to bring it all to life.
You’ll take ownership through the transformation and reopening, build your team, shape the culture and put your stamp on Dicey’s from day one.
What you’ll be taking on
The renovation will transform the venue from the inside out, including a refreshed Sports Bar & Terrace, Bistro & Beer Garden and Gaming Room, alongside significant improvements to the external areas and overall guest experience.
The vision for Dicey’s is simple: a proper local with personality.
A place for Friday knock-offs, family dinners, live music, big sporting moments and catching up over a pint. Somewhere locals know the team, the team knows the locals, and everyone feels welcome.
As Venue Manager, you’ll be at the centre of making that happen.
What’s in it for you?
OTE up to $164,000, comprising base salary, super and KPI bonus
Recruit, build and develop your own leadership and venue team
Genuine autonomy to shape the venue’s culture and guest experience
Strong support from an experienced Operations and Head Office team
Career development and progression across Australian Venue Co.’s national portfolio
