Everyone was very friendly and helpful, however the team was large as a newbie it was hard to keep track of who was a manger and who wasn't. Communication was clear, new- hire training was okay but during shifts coworkers were more helpful than managers if you and a question. Wasn't as busy as one would have thought due to the location, and tips were lower than at other places I worked.

Great beers

Great room. Great vibe. Great regulars and great employees

Unfortunately there would only be one bartender on with a full wood and 100 beers on tap and one well. Easily would get a bit backed up and slow down service

Unfortunately there would only be one bartender on with a full wood and 100 beers on tap and one well. Easily would get a bit backed up and slow down service

Very cliquey. Especially with management

CRAFT English Bay was not an overall positive experience. The people (not managers) are honestly the best part about this location. Managers would gaslight employees into believing "everyone felt bullied and negatively about your work ethic" this was never true, but happened to three bartenders in the time I worked there. Tip structure was not in favour of those who have the most detailed job descriptions, and you would be at the manager's "whits end" for asking to move from the bar. Hope everyone left is doing great though.

Company does not follow their 'culture values' whatsoever. LEED certified building yet do not follow any of these regulations, do not even compost food waste. Management is very petty and immature, play favourites and are big fans of 'teaching staff lessons' by screwing them over. Lots of top down bullying. Compensation as a manager works out to less than minimum wage per hour once you divide salary by hours worked in a regular week (around 55-60). No HR to speak of, 0 support for staff in crisis situations.

Not bad to start but not a cuisine driven place.
