Join the Kitchen Team at Nine Locks’ First Full‑Service Taproom

Nine Locks Taproom West Bedford is hiring experienced Line / Prep Cooks, and Pizza Cooks to grow our brand‑new full‑service location. If you’re motivated, outgoing, energetic, can work independently and love the fast and busy pace of a pub-style kitchen, this is an exciting opportunity to be part of something recent and exciting.

We’re looking for people with a strong guest and team mentality, who take pride in their work and go above and beyond to deliver an exceptional experience with every plate that leaves the kitchen. If you’re a quick learner, comfortable in a busy and fast paced environment, and passionate about the culinary industry, we want to hear from you.

Who We Are

Founded in 2015, Nine Locks Brewing Company is Nova Scotia’s number one craft brewery. From our home on the historic Shubenacadie Canal in Dartmouth, we’ve grown into a regional leader with award‑winning beers served in restaurants and stores across the province. We have recently opened a new taproom in West Bedford, which brings that same energy to a full dining experience — great beer, excellent food, and a great time. We offer a competitive hourly wage and free and/or discounted company product.
