General Manager - The Long Weekend
Bar Overview: Intention & Experience
The Long Weekend will be an unusual, premium cocktail bar experience, set inside the beautiful 1920’s bank building which is located on the historic corner of Columbus and Broadway, in North Beach, San Francisco.
Every nine months the appearance and experience of the bar will change to present a differentcultural destination. We kept this intention in mind as we built out the venue to allow for a quick transition upon future changes of destination.
Each iteration is intended to run for 9 months, and while the first iteration will see it presented as Long WeekendHavana, future iterations could be Long Weekend Paris, Long Weekend Mexico City, Long Weekend Milan, etc. The 9-month run will be a limited engagement, with the constant change of experience being the appeal of something new on the horizon at all times. For the team at Long Weekend, this will be a constant platform of required innovation, exploration and the delivery of exceptional hospitality experiences.
The use of the name long weekend is a reference to how most countries title their cultural holidays. It implies a day off from work, a day trip, or a brief vacation to a fun place. Every day at our new place will be part of along weekend!
With the Long Weekend Havana, the intention of the bar is to offer an experience of a visit to Cuba. Our guests will get to delve into the Cuban culture of enjoying cocktails, music, art and storytelling with people from all walks of life.
Bar Layout
We've converted the beautiful 1923 Italian-American bankbuilding into a bar with three levels. On the street level is the Main Bar and art gallery, with two mezzanine areas on the second level. The main bar will offer a fun, traditional Cuban bar experience. Underneath the main bar is the originalbankvault, which will offer a smaller bar called “La Bóveda”, with a modern take on the currentHavanaunderground nightlife experience.
No es fácil
We have put a lot of effort and resources into the creation of the Long Weekend, and as they say in Cuba, “No es fácil”. We are excited to assemble a great team of like-minded, determined hospitalitarians. This undertaking is for those willing to be a part of a truly special hospitality experience, in an amazing part of San Francisco.
