The Blackhole Of The Bar Business
Welcome back to the podcast! In today’s episode, we dive into Part 1 of the “Black Hole” side of owning a bar. Everyone loves the idea of being a bar owner—late nights, good vibes, money flowing in… but what you don’t see is the exhaustion, stress, financial risk, and constant sacrifices behind the scenes.
We’re talking the dark side of the bar business — the burnout, the staffing battles, life outside the bar disappearing, and the way the business can start to consume you if you’re not careful. This is a real, honest conversation between owners who are living it every day.
