Social bar looks to expand with $1 million in revenue on the horizon

An entrepreneurial Manatee County couple with a 'get the yes' mindset has pulled off a neat feat: nearing $1 million in annual revenue from a bar that, going against the norm, is open 24 hours a day and doesn't serve alcohol. 

Now the pair, Ryan Bodie and Sara Lewis, are looking to expand, either east or north of their current Bradenton location or possibly out of Florida. One reason for looking outside the state, they say, is their concept and niche, selling kava drinks, while trendy and gaining traction in bigger markets, such as Tampa and St. Pete, is a bit misunderstood locally.
