Portrait of Jessica Myers
i. Biography
Behind the bar at TGI Fridays in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Jessica Myers picked up the practical side of service early: read the room, keep the pace, and move cleanly from one guest to the next. That first post gave shape to a style built on attentiveness and adaptation, with the bar work doing the teaching. Since 2015, that approach has carried into The Ordinary Pub and Common Restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, where the Bar Curator role has become part of the house identity. Today Since 2015, the Bar Curator post at The Ordinary Pub and Common Restaurant in Savannah, Georgia has been held by Jessica Myers. The work sits at the point where service and setting meet: what is poured, how the bar feels, and how consistently the room is managed. A curator’s remit asks for precision, instinct, and control of pace, and Myers’s tenure signals a steady hand in a public-facing space that depends on repeatable standards. The role is defined as much by atmosphere as by technique, and her long run in it marks a sustained commitment to the guests and the bar.
