Walk.In Club is back with Oakland native William Tsui of Viridian, breaking down his path from bartender to bar owner. Real talk on mentorship, money, and what it actually takes to level up in this industry.
Walk.In Club is back, and we’re kicking off the new season with Oakland native William Tsui, owner of Viridian in downtown Oakland, talking his path from bartending school to bar owner. We get into mentors who actually push you forward, why spreadsheets matter even if you don’t like them, and the real meaning of the 5-10 Rule (hint: it’s not just the area code). If you’ve ever wondered what’s next after bartending—or what a good pour cost should be—this one’s for you.
