We’re opening a small, design-forward bar and restaurant on a rapidly changing corner of Williamsburg, with a focus on great hospitality, craft cocktails, and seasonal food. Our goal is to bring a fresh perspective to the neighborhood with thoughtful drinks, intentional service, and a space that feels both easy to love and quietly refined.

Servers at our bar will be cross-trained across various front-of-house roles, including food running, hosting, and light bar support, with opportunities to deepen their knowledge of cocktails, spirits, and pairings.

• Punctuality, organization, and a proactive approach to each shift
• Desire to contribute to a respectful, high-functioning team culture

Qualifications:

• 2–3+ years serving in a restaurant or bar (ideally in a fast-paced, hospitality-focused setting)
• Strong working knowledge of food, beverage, and service mechanics
• Interest in cocktails, wine, and seasonal cuisine
• Ability to multitask gracefully under pressure
• Must be over 21 and legally authorized to work in the U.S.
• Evening and weekend availability required

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide thoughtful, attentive table service with personality and professionalism
• Anticipate guest needs and communicate fluidly with the team
• Stay organized, efficient, and engaged during service
• Support setup, breakdown, and ongoing cleanliness of the space
• Work closely with bar and kitchen staff to ensure smooth flow
• Set and maintain a rhythm of service

Compensation:

• Hourly (NYC minimum to start) + tips
• Dining discounts, with potential for growth and cross-training into bar roles as the team evolves

To Apply:

Please send a resume and a short note about why this opportunity excites you. We’re looking for thoughtful, grounded professionals who are ready to help build something intentional and enduring.
