On March 15th, 2020, the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, ordered the closure of all wineries, nightclubs, brewpubs, and bars in the state to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. The closure was initially anticipated to be temporary, but it was longer. I’m Traci Ramos, a bartender in San Francisco, and this series follows my story of when I lost my job due to the pandemic. Through interviews with bartenders, servers, owners, and other professionals in the service industry, I’ll shed light on how the pandemic affected the bar and restaurant industry in San Francisco.

Hi, I'm Traci Ramos, and this is BoozeNation, the Podcast where I talk to members of the bar industry of San Francisco about all things bars and all things San Francisco.
BoozeNation is available on Apple Podcasts, iHeartradio, Spotify, and other listening places. Also, BoozeNation is on the socials of Instagram, YouTube and Threads.
I want to give a special shout-out to The Uptown Bar on 17th and Capp St. I'm so sorry that this bar didn't make it. I have such wonderful memories of this bar. They even cut off on my birthday one year because I was having too much wonderfulness. Yeah, I deserved to be cut off that night.
But thank you again for everything, and I hope the bartenders will be pouring spirits someplace soon.
This is my final episode of 2023, and I'm closing out the year with Erin Lim, a fellow bartender and podcaster who co-hosts the spectacular Bitch Talk podcast with Angela Tabora.
I discovered Bitch Talk at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020
It was that fateful Sunday pretty boy Newsome had announced the shutdown of the restaurant and bar industry to try and curb the rise of coronavirus.
I was scrolling on Instagram, not really freaking out about what was happening but not knowing what to do. And Bitch Talk podcast popped up on my feed, and Erin and Ange were at a bar in North Beach, The Saloon; in real-time, they were drinking and dancing. They were having so much fun in the wake of a pandemic.
I thought, 'Wow, they don't care what pretty boy Newsome said two hours ago they are at a bar.'
And they are going big.
That was my introduction to Erin and Ang and Bitch Talk podcast. Here is Bitch Talk's tagline,
- Bitch Talk is a podcast that boldly highlights the ongoing need for BIPOC women's representation in media, film, and the arts.
Hell Yeah, there's a need for more representation. I 100 % agree with that!
Long story short, we became podcast friends and real-life friends, which I still can't believe a little bit because they are so legit.
They have been in the podcast game for some time. They just had their 10th anniversary. I love it.
