Of All the Gin Joints

Of all the Gin Joints tells the story of Casablanca, the one-of-a-kind Venice, California Mexican restaurant themed after the classic film of the same name, and the three generations of Haro family men who created and managed it for the past forty years. As COVID-19 puts Casablanca and the Haro family’s very way of life in jeopardy, our film examines the unique relationship between this special restaurant and the Venice, California community it serves. Through social and economic upheaval, family strife, and a literal pandemic, Casablanca and the family who run it continue to thrive thanks to hard work, creative inspiration, and an ever shifting but always colorful cast of customers, friends, and family.
