The boutique plant store is becoming the new neighborhood watering hole, as more of them are doubling as wine and cocktail bars, evolving with the market post-pandemic.
Quincy Goldsmith, co-owner of Stem & Vine, states that adding drinks was essential due to the shuttering of other businesses: 'It was very obvious that just plants was not going to be sufficient.'
John Douglass, co-owner of Pretty Decent, emphasizes that multiple revenue streams allows for a high-quality experience: 'It allows us to treat our bar like a Michelin-star restaurant.'
Sudhir Kudva notes a transformation in bar culture: 'Gone are the days when people just came, got drunk with their friends and went home,' indicating a shift towards more engaging experiences.
