Assistant General Manager in Boston, Massachusetts at Row34

Row 34 is an award-winning, high-energy oyster bar with locations in Boston’s Seaport, Cambridge, Kenmore Square, and Portsmouth, NH. Our Seaport location is our flagship—fast-paced, high-volume, and at the center of it all.

We’re looking for an experienced Assistant General Manager to join our Seaport leadership team, with a strong focus on bar operations.

This is a hands-on leadership role built around presence, energy, and hospitality. As AGM, you’ll partner closely with the General Manager to lead daily operations, support and develop the team, and ensure an exceptional guest experience from open to close.

This role includes direct ownership of bar operations—overseeing execution, maintaining standards, and managing inventory, ordering, and cost controls. You’ll ensure the bar operates with the same consistency, energy, and hospitality as the dining room.

You’ll be on the floor during service—coaching, troubleshooting, and setting the tone—while also supporting the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the restaurant running at a high level.

• Lead from the floor in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
• Set and uphold the standard for warm, knowledgeable, and efficient service
• Coach, develop, and support FOH managers and hourly team members
• Partner with the GM on daily operations, staffing, and overall performance
• Take ownership of some bar operations
• Ensure consistency in beverage quality, execution, and guest experience at the bar
• Help drive a positive, team-first culture across FOH and BOH
• Maintain a clean, safe, and fully compliant restaurant environment
• Step in wherever needed to keep service running smoothly

• 3+ years of management experience in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
• Strong understanding of bar operations, inventory management, and cost controls
• Proven ability to lead teams in a fast-paced, service-driven environment
• A strong floor presence with a genuine passion for hospitality
• Clear communicator with a calm, solutions-focused approach

• Competitive salary (starting at $80K)
• Health, dental, and vision insurance offered at 90 days
• 401(k) with company match
• Dining discounts across Row 34 locations
• 2 weeks paid vacation (10 days)
• Opportunities for growth within a growing restaurant group

At Row 34, we’re serious about oysters, beer, and hospitality—but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We pride ourselves on creating a high-energy, welcoming environment where both guests and team members can thrive.

If you’re someone who leads from the floor, supports your team, and takes pride in running a tight, high-performing bar within a busy restaurant—we’d love to meet you.
