Head Bartender

Join the Opening Team — 21 Broadway, Brooklyn NY

Rocky's is the sports bar that doesn't feel like one. Opening next month at 21 Broadway in Williamsburg Brooklyn, we're flipping the script: premium hospitality and a design-forward space where sports, style, and community collide. Guests get thoughtfully crafted cocktails, a Michelin-chef-curated menu, plenty of screens, and broadcast-quality sound. From NFL Sundays and Premier League matchdays to UFC fight nights and NBA playoffs, Rocky's is built around live moments and curated events. Join the opening team: shape a brand-new venue from day one, grow as we grow, and help set a new standard for what a sports bar can be. We promote from within, we work hard, and we have fun doing it.
