Wait Staff

Sydney-based hospitality group, Liquid & Larder, are searching for experienced, charismatic waitstaff to join Alfie's.

About Alfie's:

Entering via the Open-air Terrace and Bar, guests are welcomed into a casual setting serving Sydney's coldest martinis, crisp draught beer, and a world-class wine list. At the rear, the Dining Room is where the energy intensifies. The space feels like theatre, sounds are sharp, the art distinct, and meat is prepared in full view, bathed in the red glow of the dry-age cabinet. It's fresh, bold, and electric in atmosphere.

Alfie's is also home to our in-house butchery, where we prepare and age the beef served across all six of our venues.
