Victoria Bartender and hospitality entrepreneur Shawn Soole is arguably the city's best-known bar and beverage expert.
Since arriving from his native Australia, Shawn's impact on the Victoria bar scene has been epic. His involvement as bar manager at Clive's Classic Lounge helped grow cocktails culture dramatically in our city. After that, his resume grew to include names such as Little Jumbo, Foxtrot Tango Whiskey Bar, OLO, Café Mexico & Pagliacci's. And it didn't stop there. Shawn now runs Soole Hospitality Concept, a full service consulting firm whos services range from concept creation to full operational strategies for the entire hospitality industry including distilleries, breweries and wineries. And as if that wasn't enough, he also runs two podcasts, has written three books, has helped open bars in several different parts of the world and still finds time to continue to bartend 30 hours a week!
This conversation was so good, before we knew it, it effortlessly slipped past the three hour range. We can't thank him enough for giving us so much of his time.
Please join us for part 1 of 2 of our chat with Mr. Shawn Soole. Episode 2 will come out next week.
Enjoy!
