What do you do when the bulk of your experience has been in bars and nightclubs but you want work hours that are more family friendly? Easy — you open a breakfast bar!

Josh and Pamela Beadel opened their first Long Beach, California location of The Breakfast Bar in late 2013 and have since opened a second location with a third on the way. According to Josh and Pamela, their vision for a fun and friendly vibe where brunch meets happy hour came to fruition about two years after opening. Now their 6-8 a.m. happy hour is a popular attraction for overnight workers from a nearby hospital, who they affectionately call the Blue Crew, that stop by for a breakfast margarita or an espresso martini.

On this episode of the Top Business Leaders Show, Josh and Pamela Beadel join Chad Franzen of Rise25 for a conversation about the growing popularity of breakfast restaurants which also offer full bar service. Josh and Pamela discuss where they developed their vision for a fun and friendly morning hangout, how their first location grew in popularity, the ways in which they provide value to the community, and their favorite morning drinks.
