Today we’d like to introduce you to Rami Haddad
Hi Rami, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My journey began with a vision to create a haven for those seeking more than just a night out in a cool bar out in Hollywood. I wanted something that can be an every person type place. This is how I decided to land in Sherman Oaks in The Valley. It all started with a humble idea, a belief that a bar could be more than just a place to gather, but a destination that encapsulates the spirit of celebration, connection, and discovery. My quest led me to collaborate with renowned chefs, master mixologists, and artisans who shared my passion for pushing boundaries and redefining the art of crafting libations and culinary delights.
My team and I have embraced the art of reinvention, constantly evolving and adapting to the ever-changing desires of our discerning guests.
Through the years, my bar has become a haven for like-minded individuals, a place where strangers become friends and where stories are shared over a perfectly crafted cocktail. It is a testament to our commitment to creating an atmosphere that transcends the ordinary, where every detail matters.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
While the journey of my team and I has been filled with incredible moments of success and fulfillment, it hasn’t always been a smooth road. Like any business, we have faced our fair share of challenges and struggles along the way. These obstacles have tested our resilience and forced us to grow in unexpected ways.
One of the major challenges I encountered was finding the right location, and navigating the complex process of obtaining permits and licenses which proved to be a daunting task. It required meticulous planning, persistence, and a strong belief in my vision to overcome these obstacles and turn my dream into a reality.
Another hurdle I faced was building a strong and cohesive team. Finding individuals who not only possessed the necessary skills but also shared my passion and dedication was no easy feat. It took time and effort to assemble a team that could deliver the level of service and quality that I envisioned. I had to invest in training, fostering a positive work culture, and constantly nurturing my team’s growth and development.
