Bar Backs

Cheeky's is a neighborhood seafood restaurant and oyster bar set along St. Petersburg's Grand Central District. A mix between a salty Old Florida fish shack and a classic New England oyster bar, with a menu of classic American dishes and something for everyone.

We are excited to bring a fresh dining experience to the community, featuring a menu inspired by simple and classic American dishes, seasonal ingredients and bold flavors. Our restaurant is dedicated to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where guests can enjoy exceptional food and service.

Behind the bar we're shaking up classic drinks and serving frozen cocktails. Our wine list is full of small production and natural bottles. Light local beers on tap and a deep list of no & low alcohol drinks round out the menu. We're an easy-going spot with friendly service, good for the whole family. Grab a seat along our sidewalk patio for great people watching (dog-friendly too!)

or in the dining room surrounding our horseshoe bar.

We are looking for passionate individuals to join our team and help us set a new standard for hospitality in St. Petersburg.

Cheeky's is hiring Barbacks to join our growing team! This is a great opportunity for those looking to get into the bar industry, to learn and develop skills and work your way up to bartend.

Barbacks are a critical part of the restaurant and must possess a sense of urgency, provide friendly service, and maintain great communication skills.

If you are a proactive team player with a strong work ethic, are detail‑oriented, and have a passion for hospitality, we want to hear from you!

At Cheeky's, we take care of our people. We've developed an unusual company culture focused on creating an environment where talented people can thrive, lifting ourselves, each other and our guests. We achieve this with thorough and ongoing training in the core fundamentals and high‑functioning teamwork across the entire organization.

We all work to be the FACE of Cheeky's;
Focus >
Attitude >
Care >
Effort. If each team member wins in each of these items, everyone wins.

Teamwork is the essential element of your position at Cheeky's. Everyone is equally responsible for ensuring the experience of our guests is extraordinary. The words "no" and "it's not my job" are never to be used. Tere are no boundaries in these duties, in addition to the specific job responsibilities listed.

The cleanliness and maintenance of the restaurant is everyone's responsibility. Always check the floor, service stations, restrooms, etc. for debris and do not pass it by if you notice that something is needed. If you see something, say something!
