ONN – Johnny Love Metheny On The San Francisco Bar Scene And The Pandemic, And The Blue Light Cafe
Johnny Metheny, aka Johnny Love, is someone I have known since 1998. He’s known for opening a series of successful and legendary bar and grills in San Francisco and Walnut Creek, California called Johnny Love’s. Johnny is one of San Francisco’s legendary bartenders, a seasoned expert on the night life scene, and an all-around good guy. In 2004, Metheny sold his restaurants and clubs to launch Johnny Love Vodka, a line of flavored and ultra premium American vodkas.
Metheny got his nickname, “Johnny Love”, while a freshman at the University of California, Berkeley, where he received his degree in Economics. Johnny was a member of three national championship rugby teams, and became a licensed stockbroker, but his true calling has been as bartender, club owner, and (I stole this from a book description of him but its true) a “purveyor of fine spirits.”
Johnny has owned and owns famous San Francisco bar and restaurant spots like Mayes Oyster House, The Grubstake on Pine, and the Boz Skaggs created The Blue Light Café, and Toy Soldier on Belden Place. He also has a book available called “Drinking Makes You Sexy – All The Most Popular Drink recipes” on Amazon, and “Guide To Bar Etiquette – No More Bar Fouls!”.
To talk about the Pandemic and its impact on the San Francisco bar scene and night life, I could not think of anyone better to talk to than my friend, Johnny. I welcome him to Zennie62Media.
Stay tuned,.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
