Nightclub & Bar Show 2019

Retail is dying. Are bars facing the same plight? Andrew Chun of Sidecar Hospitality is focusing on building a sense of community and creating compelling reasons for patrons to leave their homes and spend time (and money) in bars. Making money in a saturated market like San Francisco, with its astronomical rent and $15 minimum wage, is no easy feat. "Good enough" is no longer an acceptable approach to the bar business. From experimenting with pop-up bars to long-term design elements to understanding why today's customers should even want to go out, Chun will share the models Sidecar Hospitality uses to grow their venues and generate revenue.
