Job Details
We are hiring for Friars, our tiny East Village wine bar.
From the team behind Dame, Lord's & Crevette, Friars is an intimate, European wine bar with 16 seats. Our eclectic wine list pulls from the classical wine regions of Europe, featuring wines made thoughtfully and that speak to their place - we are not a particularly natural-leaning wine bar, although there will be some wines that identify that way on our list. This is not the place for a glass of mousy gamay - but nor will it be the place for drinking Montrachet in Zaltos (not that there's anything wrong with that). It's a relaxed, neighborhood bar with sound, delicious wines, and tasty small plates.
There is no real kitchen, so we will cook a very small menu of snacks on an induction burner and toaster oven behind the counter. The expectation is that the somms can confidently serve the wine list, AND cook the food (with guidance as necessary). There'll be 2 people working per shift, and we want it to feel very lively, a little chaotic, but in a fun way.
Think of Hector's, Delicatessen, P. Franco - that's the kind of wine bar we'll be. We're definitely not a restaurant.
If you like Nicolas Jacob, De Moor, and Burlotto, please apply below
