Award-winning escape room company CU Adventures is looking to hire a bar general manager for our newest addition: a 16,000 sq ft fantasy-themed minigolf bar, scheduled to open in Fall 2025.
Parcadia is an immersive experience unlike anything else in the US, blending incredibly high-tech indoor miniature golf, fantasy-themed private event spaces, and craft cocktails. From the moment guests enter the building, they are immersed in a magical kingdom, complete with a mysterious forest, a picturesque medieval village, and (mostly) friendly creatures.
The beverage side of the business will focus on craft cocktails and mocktails, wine, and beer, with a focus on high-quality, local options whenever possible. If you’re a longtime bartender who plays Dungeons & Dragons, goes to the Ren Faire, or has a background in theatre, this place is for you.
We’re passionate about making whatever we do unique, fun, and high-quality; we’re looking for someone who has experience managing a bar, is familiar with Health and Safety codes, is committed to creating an amazing experience for our guests, and can help us create a fair and equitable place to work for our staff.
