Manager

Dock Street Brewing Company is an award-winning, Philadelphia based brewery and brewpub. Independently founded in 1985, Dock Street was Philadelphia's First Craft Brewing Company, and one of the first Craft Breweries in the country, making us a true pioneer of American-made craft beer.

Dock Street South opened in 2019, just a few months before the pandemic. Through creative business strategies, teamwork and a continuous dedication to quality and customer service, we are fortunate enough to have emerged with an incredible Front of House, Kitchen, and Brewery team, an amazing menu, both on draught and coming out of the kitchen, and a joyous atmosphere.

The culture at Dock Street is built on a tradition of hard work, loyalty and dedication to a quality product, executed at the highest level of hospitality and customer service.

Dock Street is seeking a self-motivated, ambitious Manager to lead by example and continue to cultivate an environment that inspires creativity in a very strong team environment.
