Hospitality, business, community, and the occasional bad idea that somehow worked.
Stories from behind the bar.
Hospitality, business, community, and the occasional bad idea that somehow worked.
Ryan and Chad are brothers who own and operate bars in downtown Sandusky, Ohio — just minutes from Cedar Point, the Lake Erie islands, and the Sandusky Bay waterfront. They run Paddle Bar (a waterfront tiki bar with live music and fresh squeezed cocktails) and Volstead Bar (a speakeasy in the historic Green Door Building). No business school theories here — just real talk about what actually happens when you're behind the bar, dealing with vendors, building a team, and trying to make something people want to come back to. New episodes weekly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
