**Job description**

When the original Lucys Retired Surfers Bar and Restaurant opened in New York City in 1985, it was meant to be a refuge for displaced servers banging out a living in the concrete jungle. But its zany staff, killer drinks, and laid-back vibe attracted more than just Upper West Siders who longed for the beach. Lucys quickly became a second home for its guests-a place where anyone could walk in and immediately feel like they belonged. Now after 34 years of serving up unforgettable experiences, Lucys is more committed than ever to our mission of helping our guests make unforgettable memories by providing delicious food, killer drinks, and amazing service.
