Nearly 40 years since opening his first Hennessey’s Tavern in Hermosa Beach California
Paul Hennessey now has expanded his company to 18 different restaurants throughout
Southern California and Las Vegas.
Hennessey was born in New Jersey and studied at the New York Business College of
Finance to trade stocks. He took a job on Wall Street but when the market dipped in
1971 he decided to take a break and visit his sister in San Francisco.
“I thought I would take a year or a year and a half off. I came out to California not to
have a career, but to relax and I wound up getting a job at a restaurant,” he said.
Hennessey took a job at Victoria’s Station working as a busboy. As Victoria’s Station
began to grow and establish more locations, they offered him a management position
but he declined and went back to New York.
After interviewing with several companies and receiving job offers back in New York
Hennessey said he could no longer living in New York after spending time in California.
He then took Victoria’s Station up on their management offer.
