The Buildout

De Vie

Episode Description from the Publisher

The founders of De Vie met while working at Paris’s legendary Little Red Door, where they began to imagine a bar of their own—one that carried forward everything they’d learned there, but stripped away some of the operational headaches that come with running a bar that has lines that form before the doors even open. The result is De Vie, one of the most exciting new openings in Paris. On today’s episode of The Buildout, Adam sits down with the founders to talk about what it takes to open a bar in Europe, why Paris felt like the right city to do it in, and how they built a place designed to work better for both guests and the people behind the bar.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/buildoutpodcastDe Vie: https://www.instagram.com/devie.barAlex Francis: https://www.instagram.com/alexmfrancisBarney O'Kane: https://www.instagram.com/barneyfrombelfastVinePair: https://www.instagram.com/vinepairHosted by VinePair Co-Founder: https://www.instagram.com/adamteeterProduced and edited by: https://www.instagram.com/dolldoctor Hosted on Acast.
