About Hennessey’s Tavern Inc.:<br />

Client Description<br />

Paul Hennessey opened Hennessey’s Tavern in 1976 in Hermosa Beach, California. Over<br />

the past 41 years he has grown his company to 16 different restaurants including 10<br />

Irish themed Taverns, located throughout Southern California and Las Vegas, Nevada.<br />

Paul Hennessey was born in New Jersey. He attended the New York Business College of<br />

Finance and later became a Wall Street stock trader. After visiting his sister in San<br />

Francisco one summer, he left New York for California where he took a busboy job.<br />

Hennessey soon moved into a management position and when that business began to<br />

expand, he decided to leave and start a restaurant of his own.<br />

Since opening the first Tavern in 1976, Hennessey has been able to add a new<br />

restaurant location on a regular basis. The company itself has no outside investors and<br />

expands only when “the right opportunity presents itself.”<br />

Timeline of Hennessey’s Tavern Inc.’s Expansion:<br />

The Mickie Finnz locations in Redondo Beach and Dana Point have closed. The<br />

Redondo Beach location was replaced with a new modern concept restaurant called<br />

Rebel Republic in 2017. The Brass Lounge in Las Vegas has also closed.<br />
