Beckaly Franks Shares Her Hospitality Love on The Delish Guestlist Podcast

Beckaly Franks is an eccentric figure. The Hawaiian-born, Idaho-bred, and Portland-raised bartender spent three decades soaking up a unique blend of American hospitality before arriving in Hong Kong to share her genuine love for people in the city’s restaurants and bars.

The American hospitality figure founded The Pontiac in 2015 and has enjoyed a legacy many drinking dens in Hong Kong and Asia wish they had. To be brash, bold, and beautiful is what Beckaly strives for when creating a dining and drinking space.

Beckaly joins her partner and wife Ezra Star to foster a philosophy to love their customers who walk through the doors of The Pontiac, Call Me Al, Artifact, Artifact Bar, and Ponty Café. She joins The Delish Guestlist to enjoy a conversation with Rubin Verebes and Natsuki Arita, highlighting her intrinsic love for hospitality.  

The Delish Guestlist explores the stories of Hong Kong and Asia’s most captivating and game-changing hospitality legends, mixing our cocktails, cooking our food, and creating our dream experiences. Listen to what makes the region’s top mixologists, bartenders, chefs, operators, baristas, and sommeliers so captivating!
