Jackie’s Pub in the heart of the Liberties is hiring “strong bartenders” for their 90s-themed bar.
The pub dedicated to Jackie’s army has been delighting the 90s babies of Dublin with their themed cocktails and decor. And now they’re on the hunt for bartenders with plenty of cocktail experience and friendly customer service.
Co-owner Marcus O’Laoire took to his Instagram account to find the perfect employee. He said: “Have a couple of positions opening up in @jackiesdublin for strong bartenders! Looking for strong cocktail experience, buzzy customer service and genuine enthusiasm for service and hospitality.”

The pub on Francis Street is like an episode of Reeling in the Years, the smoking area looks like a typical teenager's bedroom in the nineties with dozens of magazine-like posters, the upcoming second bar feels like your Granny's sitting room, and if you want to go on a break, you can go to the Ross and Rachel toilets.
Marcus previously told Dublin Live: “The main thing we want is people to feel welcome and happy. We want to bring them back to the nineties, but of course, you can’t smoke in the pub now. There’s no abandoned kids running around at 11:00pm anymore either.
“But everyone who was involved in Jackie’s, we’re all children of the nineties.
“You look back at nostalgia and you don’t remember any of the bad stuff, even the bad stuff you remember the good side of it. So much today is focused on fear and negative and this is a safe space.
“The really fun part of the research was sitting around with a few pints and going: ‘What do you remember about being a kid in the nineties?’
“We’ve an Xtra Vision sign, the thought of going down to Xtra Vision with your parents and getting a film or renting a game, the buzz of it. Going down Grafton Street and going to HMV.
“Thinking of nineties sport, you think of Jackie’s Army, American 94, Italian 90, the glory days. Things like that bring the country together.”
So if you want to start your day of work being greeted by '90s music like Westlife or the screech of B*Witched saying “Some people say I look like me da”, you can contact co-owner Marcus here for more information.
