Bio
Brian Beatty
Getting the kids out to the bars isn't as easy as it used to be. Dart boards, pool tables and mediocre lighting that makes everybody look "lukewarm," if not exactly "hot," aren't exactly draws with a generation raised on reality TV and social networking sites all about documenting their every breath. Wet t-shirt contests, karaoke machines and mechanical bulls don't cut it anymore either. Chuck's figured out a better way. He's a genius at creating experiences that make everybody the star of the show. Patrons fall all over each other for trivia or spelling bee bragging rights. And they celebrate every victory with another round of drinks. Chuck's the Don when it comes to filling bars by raising the bar on what passes for an entertaining evening out.
