$3off cheesesteaks on Tuesday’s.
All day and well into the evening.

Fun Fact- Andre Rush called me for cheesesteak making’ advice a few months ago. So I said I would arm wrestle him for the secrets. He hasn’t called me back.

Hey!

Have you always wanted to be a Loosey’s bartender? Well now’s your chance!

We are looking for experienced bartenders that have worked a significant amount of time at a bar similar too or just like Loosey’s.

Nights and weekends should be expected and we are open on some holidays too, but we are happy to work around your school schedule, family events, other job or even less common things like if you’re an F1 driver or more exotic hobbies like ninja training.

We serve a lot of beer. And a lot of different kinds of beers, so beer knowledge is a pretty big deal. We also make a few stirred cocktails and more straight-ahead things like shots of whiskey. The bartender is responsible for the bar till, service bar, opening and closing and is often the MOD of sorts at close sometimes.

If this sounds like something you’d be into, come on by and fill out an app and drop a resume.

Steak Tartare. Now till we’re out.

Fun fact- powdered sugar and cornichons are surprisingly close to each other in the store.

There’s also lemon cake.

And the Salad Bar S**t show rides again.

Hey friends!

We’re gearing up for the end for the Streatery Consctruction and we need to add a few folks to our schedules. With any luck we also have a good Gators Football team this year and the Fest lineup looks pretty rad so here we go!

Currently looking to fill a few spots in the back of the house.

+Kitchen Manager+
2+ years Experience is a must.
The KM will do inventory, schedules, discipline, collaborate on specials, special events and work with the FOH and ownership for the betterment of the entire restaurant.

Frankly, there’s too much to type here and it would be irresponsible to think we could cover everything on a social media post. So if you think this job is for you, come by, drop a resume and fill out an app and we can talk.

+Line Cook+
It is always preferred to have folks that have cooked in our type of shop before, but we also know that isn’t always the possible, so we’re willing to train the right people. We are a scratch kitchen and that requires attention to detail, consistency and organization.

+Dishwasher+
The dishwasher is an important and valuable part of every kitchen.
Experienced or not we’d love to meet you and see if we like each other.
Currently we only need a dishwasher a few nights a week, so this is not a full time job.

Please come see us and apply in person.

Pay really depends on experience, but we’re real people and it’s expensive to live on earth, so let’s talk about it when you come by and we can see what works for everyone.

We are open on weekends, nights and some holidays, but we can be flexible with time off as well as school and personal schedules. However, it should be anticipated that you would be expected to work all of those as needed.

We will not respond to comments or DM's regarding employment.

got robbed of his all star moment, but no one at Loosey’s got robbed of their hot dog moment!!!

***I don’t don’t know if that’s true but I didn’t expect to sell 120 hot dogs in 85 minutes so who knows for sure?

Cheers, y’all
That was really fun.

Go Braves!

A month or so ago I said we were just gonna run the same dogs as last year.

But then some folks asked for a few things so I made some changes.

All dogs $15.
Everything else is a la carte.

And I guess I'll make some Skyline Chili- ya weirdos.
