Joanna Lioce discusses her book, At Vesuvio, a verbatim interaction between bartender and patrons at the legendary bar in San Francisco. 

"The bartender sees everything. The bartender knows everything. And that's because the bartender hears everything. Joanna Lioce has had the chance to to observe the whole moving-picture show of San Francisco-its locals, its tourists, its stars and wannabes-from behind the bar at Vesuvio's, a North Beach watering hole in which the thirsts of all kinds are slacked."  --Leah Garchik 

Books will be available at the event.
