Company

San Vicente is a private membership club designed to attract a diverse and unique community of individuals from the creative and business worlds, each contributing something unique to its soul and experience. With highly personalized, old-world service in an atmosphere that is elegant, inviting, and cozy, San Vicente Clubs are a destination for discerning people bound by common interests and a desire for dynamic social interaction.

Building on the success of the original West Hollywood location, San Vicente is expanding with two new locations in Santa Monica and the West Village in New York City. Their eclectic members – both loyal and new to come – are set to enjoy even more benefits and legendary experiences.

San Vicente seeks team members who share a passion for the high standards and flawless, first-class service that are synonymous with owner Jeff Klein's unique, personalized approach to luxury hospitality.

Position Purpose

The barback ensures that the bartender has everything they need to run a successful and efficient service: clean glassware, prepared garnishes, well stocked liquor, beer, spirits, ice cubes, napkins, straws etc. They are also responsible for keeping the service area tidy (cleaning up spills and broken glass) and running to the walk-in to restock whatever's running low.
