i. Biography
Coming Up
The line from floor work to ownership is already visible in Jenna Hemsworth’s resume: time behind the bar at Black Pearl, Vue de Monde, Bad Frankie, and Eau de Vie in Melbourne, then on to Restaurant Hubert and the Baxter Inn in Sydney. Those rooms demand different pacing, but the throughline is the same — service under pressure, reading a crowd, and keeping the bar moving without losing shape. By the time she reached Sydney, the work had already built the habits that matter in serious hospitality: speed, control, and attention to the room. Restaurant Hubert in Sydney became a clear marker in 2019–2019, placing Jenna Hemsworth inside one of the city’s active cocktail conversations at a moment when the room, the drink, and the pace of service all carried equal weight. The next step was not a lateral move but a shift in scale: from working one bar to helping define a collective. That progression now sits in her current role as co-founder of Sorry, Not Sorry Collective.
Where They Are Now
Ownership changes the work, and as co-founder of Sorry, Not Sorry Collective, Jenna Hemsworth stays close to cocktails while working in a broader, shared framework. The role asks for the same practical discipline as service, but with more emphasis on coordination, voice, and the way a team presents itself in public. Her presence in a global final also points to that collaborative mode: drinks are still central, but so is the way they are shaped by the people around them. What comes through in the record is a bartender shaped by the social mechanics of hospitality as much as by technique. For Jenna Hemsworth, the room is part of the craft — the people in it, the rhythm they create, and the way service holds together under pressure. That outlook is what carries her from front-of-house work into collective leadership.
