Carl Radke Prepares His Summer House Contingency Plan
Briefly

Soft Bar, a forthcoming sober bar and café in Greenpoint, is currently under construction, with plans for an August opening coinciding with the end of filming for Bravo's Summer House. Founder Carl Radke is enthusiastic about the venue's design but faces skepticism due to past instances of Bravo stars launching businesses that fail to materialize. Despite hopes for a January 2025 launch, Radke acknowledges the challenges he has encountered while learning about the business landscape since his sobriety in January 2021.
"Months before it's set to welcome customers, Soft Bar already has its fair share of doubters. There's a proud tradition of Bravo stars promoting businesses that never come to fruition."
"I am learning a lot about certain things in this arena," he confesses, acknowledging the challenges and complexities of launching Soft Bar amid skepticism and ambitious timelines.
