Barback

Exceptional opportunity to work for Lucania, a new and unique piazza-inspired restaurant opening at the Ferry Building in Fall 2026.

Brought to you by the A16 Restaurant Group, Lucania is inspired by Southern Italian piazzas.

Lucania becomes a place you can return to at any hour and find it alive, adding a sense of energy and gathering the Ferry Building has not consistently held.

We are seeking experienced Barbacks with an innate sense of true hospitality and a genuine love of food and wine.
