Carl Radke is back on the scene!
The star of “Summer House” recently hosted hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real from Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, as part of a “soft launch” for his eagerly awaited new project, Soft Bar.
This exclusive event, backed by a brand called Mingle Mocktails, showcased Radke’s new non-alcoholic café and bar. He mentioned that this venture helped him move forward after his breakup with ex-fiancé Lindsay Hubbard.
Radke remarked, “It definitely gave me something to focus my passion and focus on,” acknowledging that healing took time.
At the event, he gave a personal tour of the stylish space, highlighting its impressive 20-foot ceilings, vintage Italian décor, and unique long green bar.
Many guests, including stars from “Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard” like Nick Arrington and Jasmine Ellis Cooper, as well as comedians Anna Roisman and Andrea Lopez, were there to support him and enjoy the Mingle mocktails.
Radke shared that Soft Bar has become his go-to spot for pre-dates. Although he had been linked to Southern Charm’s Benita Aspen and newcomer Bailey Taylor, he is currently single.
This community-focused venue effortlessly shifts from a daytime coffee shop into an inviting lounge by night. Radke, who committed to sobriety after his brother’s overdose in 2020, emphasized that the menu is more than just basic juices. It features an extensive selection of non-alcoholic wines and “soft cocktails” made with functional ingredients like adaptogens and nootropics.
“When you say ‘mocktail,’ it sounds somewhat trivial, but we focus on crafting soft cocktails,” he clarified, adding that these drinks offer beneficial ingredients without delving into anything extreme.
In addition to discussing drinks, Radke opened up about his current dating life, expressing that he’s open to possibility.
He mentioned that the soft bar is a great place for people to chat over non-alcoholic drinks and commented on the dramatic happenings in the current season of “Summer House,” especially the issues between co-stars Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula. Radke sympathized with Cooke, saying, “It’s important,” referring to their recent breakup.
Looking ahead, Radke hinted at appearing in a future season of “Dancing with the Stars” and mentioned that he would be interested in joining “The Bachelor” too.
Catch “Summer House” Tuesdays at 8 PM ET on Bravo, with episodes available the next day on Peacock.
