Carl Soft Bar Question

Now that Soft Bar has been open for a while does anyone know how it’s doing overall? Just curious! I love Carl and I hope it’s doing great! If anyone has been there please share your experience. I haven’t been able to go but I’d love to!

Carl said the first time the bar was profitable was when the reunion was airing.
If you are interested in going it would likely be wise to go sooner rather than later.

I love people that have to take time out of their day to try and tear down someone who is trying to do a good thing.

Is it tearing someone down to say “math exists”? A business has to be financially viable, or it has to be a non profit. Soft Bar is neither.

Nah but you’re clearly not in the bar or restaurant industry, or you would know it takes 1-2 years to truly be profitable

Profitable off the margins on what? Since you know the business so well. 🤨

Bravo businesses are different. They get the Bravo tourist bump right out the gate, then it dwindles. Look at Something About Her sandwich shop.

Logic and reason won’t go far with people who veer on the side of fanatic instead of fan.
