Dishwasher - The Foolery

Bringing elements of the Motor City to the West Side, another welcoming refuge for all is coming to Grand Rapids sooner than later. The Foolery, the city’s newest fine dive bar, will feature an inventive offering of Detroit-style, deep dish pizza, purposefully crafted cocktails, and cold beers. Hitting all of the points of comfort for your next We should hangout soon, this new Misfit joint downtown will be one where folks snag an after work beer with colleagues, and stay for the pizza. Or, one to bring your friends to for a laid-back dinner, and stay for the innovative cocktails. We are looking for experienced hospitality people to join our ever-growing Misfit team.

We all feel like misfits at some point in life and we think it’s important to embrace and celebrate it. Misfit Joints are based on just that; a single premise that we exist to create a hospitality experience like no other. A warm, welcoming, refuge for all. A place where everyone feels safe to let their freak flag fly! We respect and celebrate the diverse, alternative, and authentic. Social Misfits, Misfit Society Coffee Club, and The Foolery: These are the types of places you might be drawn to on a bad day, because you know you’ll walk out feeling better; or on a good day, because, well, you’ll walk out feeling better-er. If you’re interested in working for the Misfit Joints, apply today!
