The Railroad House is a seasonal wine lounge that blends bold ambiance with international & local wine, curated light fare menu, and a vibe people come back for all season long.

Responsibilities: 

• Develop & rotate our seasonal small plates menu 

• Place and manage weekly food orders 

• Maintain food safety + kitchen prep 

• Collaborate with owner & bartender on new offerings 

Qualifications: 

• Previous lead kitchen experience preferred 

• Comfortable with solo prep and execution 

• Creative and detail-oriented 

• Weekend availability required 

Lead Bartender 

Our guests come for wine, conversation, and an escape from the ordinary. We are seeking a confident bartender who knows wine, can handle a small bar independently, and thrives on giving every guest a memorable experience. 

Responsibilities: 

• Set up & break down bar service 

• Use Toast POS to run efficient, smooth shifts
