Nightclub & Bar Show 2019

Follow the journey of first-time Nightclub and Bar attendees, Karen and Stephen Williamson, who visited the show in 2018, and as first-time to-be owners, were able to open their bar before the end of the same year. They knew nothing about bars and restaurants as both were coming from completely unrelated successful careers, but were determined to leave the corporate life behind and build a place of their own place in the food and beverage world. They perused the showroom floor, attended sessions, and used the Nightclub & Bar convention to acquire the tools they needed to get a running start on designing, building, opening, and running their own place. See how far they have come in a year, and hear about the ups, downs, and tips they learned through this process of opening their first place, what resources they were able to take away from the convention, and how they used experts to their benefit.
