2016 Tastemakers: Seth Laufman, Jeff Davis and Perrie Wilkof
Seth Laufman: Owner, Blind Lady Tavern
Why he’s a Tastemaker: Haven’t heard of Seth Laufman or Blind Lady Tavern? You’re not alone. The bar and restaurant has flown far under the radar since opening eight months ago in the former Jury Room space Downtown. But we’re betting Laufman—with his bartending pedigree operating respectable everyman bars for more than a decade in San Francisco—is the right guy to bring this historic space out of obscurity. No doubt we’ll have to stop referring to Blind Lady as a “hidden gem” before too long.
