Good Lion Hospitality was founded by husband and wife team Misty Orman and Brandon Ristaino in 2014 in Santa Barbara, California. We are a passionate and unfailingly curious group of hospitality professionals that share in a vision of exciting, comfortable, and dynamic eating, living, and drinking spaces featuring world class hospitality, thoughtful cocktails, chef-driven food concepts, natural wine, and independently brewed beers. 

Good Lion Hospitality currently comprises cocktail bars, The Good Lion, Test Pilot, Bank of Italy Cocktail Trust, Shaker Milll, a natural wine bar, Venus in Furs, and cocktail constituent company, Juice & Co. Good Lion Hospitality is also an events company, specializing in cocktail catering.

Future projects in the California Central Coast include a boutique hotel, oyster bar, underground cocktail bar, and agave spirits focused cocktail bar.
