Job Details
Our local sourcing means that we don't import any of our spirits, produce, citrus or sugars. Instead we focus on supporting our local farmers, distillers and makers, while having a great time every night. We were named one of the best bars in the country by Esquire, and one of the 15 essential cocktail bars in Philadelphia by Eater.
We are searching for an experienced bartender / server to join our team. Specifically we are looking to hire someone who has worked at a craft cocktail program in a busy environment, has familiarity with restaurant steps of service, and will provide a fantastic, memorable guest experience.
Our ideal candidate is comfortable with both fine dining and casual service, knows classic cocktail recipes but loves to be creative on their own, and is comfortable both serving and behind the bar. Most of our team is cross trained, and one serving shift per week is expected.
There are no barbacks or runners at our restaurant - everyone helps each other - and the bartenders complete all prep of cocktail ingredients, batching of liquors, ice prep, etc. We are looking for someone who is interested in what we offer, and who wants to work hard & have fun. This is an excellent opportunity for a creative, passionate individual who wants to be part of a forward-thinking and fun restaurant / cocktail bar.

- Minimum one (1) to two (2) years prior experience in high volume, fine-casual or fine-dining environments.
- Must have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Must be a team player with a strong work ethic.

Throughout all aspects of Post Haste, there is a creative, fun and forward-thinking story to tell. While “posthaste” is defined as “with great speed,” we reinterpret the phrase to mean the opposite: “after the haste.” This is a place to relax and unwind after the haste of the day.
