SPECIAL: Doug Dalton of Future Bars (with San Francisco Magazine)

Doug Dalton is the Co-Founder and Co-Owner of Future Bars, a venture that has restored 12 of San Francisco’s historic bars, making them into some of the top venues for the city’s vibrant cocktail culture. With locations like Bourbon & Branch, a Prohibition Era speakeasy turned password-required bar & lounge with its very own cocktail class, Doug beautifully captures the spirit of each sophisticated thematic bar experience through a love of history and entertainment. An eclectic entrepreneur, Doug has also had careers at tech companies like Sprint and Netscape as Lead Engineer, and at cosmetics companies like Gloss.com and Estée Lauder as Chief Technology Officer. Wherever he goes, Doug adds vitality and prosperity to the world around him. We are thrilled to share our conversation with him at his newest Future Bars location, the Dawn Club. Meet Doug Dalton!
