Food Runner

At Overthrow Hospitality, we’re not just a restaurant group — we believe that dining can be a force for change. 

Soda Club, our reimagined wine + pasta bar located at 95 Avenue A in the East Village, blends two dynamos in our portfolio — the celebrated Amor y Amargo cocktail program and our fresh pasta + natural wine DNA. 

With over 200 natural & organic wines, an inspired menu of vegan pastas, pinsas, small plates, and a late-night transition into cocktail + wine lounge mode, Soda Club pulses with energy. 

If you’re someone who thrives on music, movement, passion, high energy, and service with heart — we want you on our team.

• Flexible shifts in a vibrant neighborhood.

• Competitive compensation + tips + team perks.
