SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Cowboys Saloon American Bar & Grill on Friday begins a month-long job fair seeking new staff for its upcoming restaurant in Destiny USA in Syracuse.
The job fair continues “July 1st through opening day,” according to a news release the company issued Thursday.
Cowboys Saloon plans to open in mid-August, the company said in an email response to a BJNN inquiry.
Cowboys Saloon refers to the job fair as a “casting call” for bartenders, servers, bussers, security, cooks, bull operators, and dance instructors.
Applicants should send résumés to gmsyracuse@cowboyssaloon.com. Restaurant officials will conduct interviews onsite at its Destiny USA location.
The “western-themed” bar & grill will operate in a 14,000-square-foot venue in the mall’s Canyon area. Cowboys Saloon will take over the space that Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill previously occupied.
BG Capital Group chairman Bobby Genovese and Cowboys Saloon founder Anthony Perera jointly own Cowboys Saloon American Bar & Grill, according to Destiny USA.
Syracuse will be the 7th Cowboys Saloon location and its first in New York. Additional sites include Phoenix, Arizona; along with Gainesville, Ocala, and Davie, Florida.
