Interview With Kevin Sheffield (Owner of Smoke & Barrel / Famous RVA Bartender) | O Lala! (In the Dungeon) S2 #16
On today’s episode we have Kevin Sheffield - a local bartending celebrity who recently opened Smoke & Barrel in the former space of the Dugout, Step Down Raw Bar, The White Dog, and its longest tenant, Lady N’awlins. The space has been around since the 70s. Kevin is most well known for his drink slinging skills at New York Deli. He’s been in the bartending business for 10 years now at places like ChaChas, FW Sullivans and Lady N’awlins. He won bartender of the year for RVA 6 years in a row (2016-2021) and he’s in the hall of fame for Style Weekly. He loves Richmond, going to VCU basketball games and Flying Squirrels baseball games. We also discuss Pharrell Williams filming his movie in RVA, Opossums, restaurants and band of the week, and more!
