Why Your Bar Is Empty on Weeknights (And How to Fix It) with Bryan Carr
Apr 01, 2026 Season 4 Episode 222
Chris Schneider, The Bar Business Coach

One night you’re busy.
Next night? Dead.

No pattern. No consistency. 
All you can do is hope that people will show up.

Most bar owners think it’s a marketing problem.

It’s not.

You just haven’t given people a reason to come in.

In this episode, I sit down with Bryan Carr from Geeks Who Drink to break down how programming, like trivia, bingo, and weekly events, actually drives consistent traffic and higher spend.

If your weeknights are unpredictable and you’re tired of guessing what works… This will change how you think about your bar.
