Episode 76 - How Dana Whyte and Marshall King helped build the small bar scene in Adelaide.

This podcast is very symbolic for me as I grew up in South Australia and left as a young man. Dana Whyte and Marshall King are responsible for some best bars in Adelaide, and they had worked together since 2013 when Clever Little Tailor became one of the first small bars in the West End. Their now three venues brought a resurgence to the short bar scene in the city.

In this podcast, we talk about how the American bar scene has shaped their thinking about what a bar means to a guest and they explain the importance of customer service and bartenders ‘owning a room’.

We also discuss how sustainability and strategy have been vital as they re-open, especially with limited capacity and precisely their feeling on the one person per 4sqm rule. Since the taping of this podcast, they have moved to a one-person per 2sqm ruling.

They are fantastic hospitality leaders, and I hope you get the opportunity to visit their venues one day soon.
