Episode 9: Molly Wellmann sold her last bar – now what?

Andy and Rob talk about the (final?) closing of what was once the Cincinnati region's largest mall, as well as a craft brewery being acquired by an Ohio peer, the closing of yet another urban restaurant and P&G's fall from its position as the world's largest advertiser.

Interview starts at (19:00). Molly Wellmann was Cincinnati's undisputed queen of cocktails. She got her start at Jean-Robert de Cavel's Chalk, where she was given unprecedented latitude in the kitchen when it came to making cocktails, and went on to own at one point six establishments. She sold her final bar back in July, and we catch up with her to chat about the pandemic's impact on the hospitality industry, what makes Cincinnati's bar scene great and what she's up to now.
