General Manager – Bells & Whistles (Fraser)
Lead a restaurant. Build a team. Shape a culture.
Bells & Whistles isn't just another sports bar.
We're a high-volume neighbourhood restaurant built around incredible hospitality, unforgettable game days, arcade nostalgia, community events, and a team that genuinely enjoys working together. Whether it's a packed playoff game, World Cup watch party, trivia night, Drag brunch, or a regular Tuesday afternoon, our goal is always the same: create an experience that guests can't wait to come back for.
Alongside unforgettable hospitality, we're proud to serve an exceptional selection of local craft beer and a menu of elevated comfort food that proves burgers, wings and fries can be done remarkably well.
