Description

Assistant Manager - Waterfront Bar & Grill

Horseshoe Bay Resort | Lake LBJ, TX

Why This Role Stands Out

Join a high-energy, waterfront restaurant known for elevated casual dining, strong volumes, and a vibrant guest experience. The Waterfront Bar & Grill combines chef-driven cuisine, craft cocktails, and live entertainment in a unique lakeside setting-making it one of the resort's most dynamic outlets.

This is an opportunity to step into a visible leadership role, gain experience in a high-performing environment, and grow within a well-established resort operation.

About Waterfront Bar & Grill

Located at the Horseshoe Bay Resort Marina, Waterfront Bar & Grill offers indoor and outdoor dining directly on Lake LBJ. The concept blends bold, from-scratch cuisine with a lively atmosphere, featuring:

Fresh seafood and chef-inspired dishes

Southern and Mexican-influenced flavors

Craft cocktails and curated beverage programs

Brunch service with high-volume weekend traffic

Regular live music and themed events

Year-round programming, including happy hour features and promotions

Operating Hours:

Mon-Thurs: 4 PM - 10 PM

Fri: 11 AM - 10 PM

Sat-Sun: 9 AM - 3 PM (Brunch), 4 PM - 10 PM

This outlet drives significant guest engagement across dining, bar, and entertainment, requiring strong leadership presence and operational discipline.
