This week’s #DownAtOurRendezvous podcast is essential listening for any patron of The Regal Seagull. Shel and Ben go back to the beginning with manager/bartender extraordinaire Patrick Fagan, hearing about his life growing up and playing soccer in South Africa, and how he eventually ended up in the United States and behind the bar at the Seagull. It’s a fascinating conversation, that touches on serious topics like apartheid and ongoing social issues in South Africa, their vibrant Southern California-like culture and weather, and the backstory of how Paddy made his way to San Diego and everybody’s favorite bar in Leucadia.
