Hello, and welcome back to BoozeNation the Podcast where I speak with people from the bar and restaurant industry of San Francisco. It's July and freezing in San Francisco; sorry to the rest of California. And there's probably another surge of covid headed our way, so please be careful.
My guest today is Calvin Landrum. When I met Calvin, he was the GM at Sluts the Wine Bar - in SOMA. I went to Sluts back in March. It was fairly new. And the bar was sexy, funky, and a perfect amount of weird. And what San Francisco needed after three years of closures, reopening more closures - I thought this bar was it. Calvin was behind the bar and was so nice and engaging about the newness of the bar and the natural wine selections and even had something to say about the non-alcoholic wine on the menu, which I thought was surprising because we're talking about non-alcoholic wine, right? We chatted for a few minutes, and he went to speak to other guests and get the show and dancers going. I like this in a manager - the ability or consciousness to chat with the bar's guests to ensure that many customers know someone is in charge and holding down the fort. Calvin looked new to me, meaning I hadn't seen him behind the bar or I hadn't served him. Yes, when you've been in the industry long enough, you have those categories you start putting people in. And it turns out Calvin is newish to the bar industry, and we'll find out what he was doing before getting behind the bar.
