Bartender Robvell Smith

Robvell Smith's Love of Bartending

For this first episode of Storied: San Francisco, it made sense on so many levels to start with Robvell Smith. Robvell tends bar at Tony's Pizza Napoletana in North Beach, which is where our paths first crossed six or so years ago. We'll hear Robvell retell the story of how he got started behind the bar, some of his first bartending gigs (in SF, SoCal, and Hawaii), and his deep appreciation of and love for serving people at the bar.

This episode also has a brief introduction to Storied: San Francisco. In a way, this is the story behind the stories of Storied: San Francisco.

I hope you enjoy. Please remember to rate and review Storied: San Francisco on iTunes so we can try to get more listeners. And be sure to follow us on Instagram @storiedsf. Thanks for listening.

We recorded this podcast at Vesuvio Café in August 2017.
