The Barrel, LLC
Owner
My full-time gig is being the mother of a beautiful 5 year old who was born a month before my husband and I opened our first business: The Barrel here in Estes Park. My roller coaster career path and moving eight times before settling down in Colorado helped shape my work method and approach as very analytical and quantifiable, but also very open to exploring new possibilities. People ask me all the time how Lou and I got into the bar business; short story, we have been avid supporters, fans, aficionados of the craft beer industry for years, both of us grew up with bars in our childhood homes and we even had a 14’ bar built in the basement of our home. When the opportunity of us opening a bar presented itself, we took it, jumped right in and despite all the hurdles we have had to overcome, there is no other job I would rather be doing.
