Velvet Rail Lounge, 505 Main Street, Downtown Houston

Careers

Work the room.

Bussers, barbacks, servers and bartenders. Four nights a week on Main Street.

Why here

Four nights. One room. A real crowd.

Velvet Rail runs Thursday through Sunday, 7 PM to 2 AM, with live music, resident DJs and a room that fills every night it opens. The work is fast, the standard is high, and the schedule leaves Monday to Wednesday for the rest of your life.

We hire for attitude and train the rest. Bar and service experience helps; TABC certification is required before your first shift and we will tell you how to get it.

Always hiring

Open roles.

Thursday – Sunday · 7 PM – 2 AM

Busser

Keeps the room ready: tables turned, glassware moving, the floor clean while it's full.

Barback

The bar's engine: ice, stock, fruit, glassware, and the bartenders never reach for something that isn't there.

Server

Owns a section of velvet seating. Reads a table, sells the menu, keeps the night moving.

Bartender

Makes the cocktail menu to spec and fast, at a rail that is the centre of the room.
