The VinePair Podcast: Do Bars Want Regulars Anymore?
In the past, being a regular at a bar or restaurant brought a fair amount of cultural cache. But now, it seems like the incentive to become a regular has all but disappeared.

Today on the “VinePair Podcast,” Adam, Joanna, and Zach respond to a listener’s question about whether it’s harder than ever to be a bar regular. Have the rising cost of drinks, the changing approach to bar formats, and other considerations created an environment where being a bar regular is relegated to the history books? Tune in for more.
