From Bartender to Bar Owner: How Steve Lewis Turned a Biker Bar into a Community Favorite
Owning a bar hits different when it’s all on you.
You’re not just pouring drinks anymore, you’re the plumber, the promoter, the peacekeeper, and the one who signs the checks when the fridge breaks.
Steve Lewis bought a local biker bar and quickly realized bartending didn’t prep him for licenses, reputation cleanup, or figuring out how to order just enough without running out.
In this episode, Steve talks about what actually changes when you go from behind the bar to running the whole place, where every decision, mistake, and win lands on you.
They get into the hard stuff, like getting the old regulars on board, fixing up the space, and making your bar feel like somewhere people want to come back to.
If you're trying to grow your bar without burning out, you’ll get something out of this.
