Bar Staff / All-Rounder @ Brân – Belgian Beers and Boardgames (Cardiff)

We’re hiring!

Brân is Cardiff’s brand-new board game bar - a place for great beer, brilliant games, and good people. We’re now building our opening team and looking for friendly, enthusiastic all-rounders to help bring Brân to life.

Whether you’re pouring pints or recommending a board game, you’ll be at the heart of a buzzing, welcoming space for drinkers and players of all kinds.

About Brân

Brân is a new venture from the teams behind Rules of Play and Nighthawks, blending:
- Belgian beers & street food
- A curated library of modern board games
- Learn-to-play events, RPG nights, and themed evenings
- A downstairs premium area for longer sessions and private bookings

We open later this year - and we’re looking for the right people to grow with us.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for people who are:
- Friendly, approachable, and love helping people have a good time
- Comfortable in a fast-paced bar or hospitality setting
- Curious and passionate about games – no need to be a board game guru, just someone who enjoys learning and sharing the fun
- Great communicators - whether you’re explaining a game or recommending a drink
- Team players who can jump between bar service, floor, food, and fun

Experience working in bars or cafes is helpful but not essential - training will be provided. More important is a great attitude, curiosity, and a love for welcoming people.

Part-time and full-time roles available
Competitive pay (dependent on experience) + perks
Staff benefits include access to our games library, team nights, training, and snacks

How to apply

Email us at games@rulesofplay.co.uk with:
- A short cover letter or intro (tell us who you are and why you’d love to work at Brân)
- Your CV (or a brief summary of your experience)

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and levels of experience. Whether you’re a bar pro, a board game fan, or someone looking for something different - we’d love to hear from you.

Applications close: Rolling basis until filled
Start date: End October 2025 (ahead of our soft launch)
