Host

The Radicle — a new late night cocktail bar from the team behind Daisies — is hiring hosts to join our opening team in Logan Square.

The Radicle will serve Midwest-Italian inspired food built for a bar setting : think raw bar selections of vegetable and seafood crudos, oysters, crisp salads, fried snacks, and handmade pizzas. We’ll be open from midday to late night, six days a week, offering an energetic yet thoughtful kitchen environment where quality ingredients meet a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere.
