- I had always wanted to own my own business. The entrepreneur in me always wanted<br />
to start my own business.<br />
What was the first Hennessey’s Tavern like?<br />
-It was very underfunded and understaffed. For the first nine months I was the only<br />
employee but it was all worth it.<br />
What do you think has allowed Hennessey’s to be so successful in Southern California?<br />
- I saw the need for nice gathering places with relaxing environments. We have<br />
consciously shunned trends and gimmicks, and I think that is a large part of why we are<br />
still around, while so many of my competitors have come and gone. Our restaurants are<br />
about our people. We ensure that our staff are more than just order takers or food<br />
deliverers. They offer true Irish Hospitality. Our staff have become our extended family,<br />
along with our guests.<br />
What can you tell me about the new San Juan Capistrano location?<br />
- The San Juan Capistrano location is a great new addition to our tavern restaurants. It is<br />
located just 4.5 miles from the Dana Point Hennessey’s and I think the locals will really<br />
enjoy it.<br />
What are your hopes for the future of your company?<br />
- We will expand again when the time is right. A lot of people come to me with different<br />
proposals but I am very particular with where I decide to place my restaurants. I may be<br />
going out to Miami to look at a location.<br />
Closing Statement:<br />
- I have been lucky enough to do what I love for so many years and I can only hope that<br />
my customers enjoy my restaurants as much as I do. It’s been quite the journey and I<br />
hope that I will be able to serve my customers for many years to come.<br />
