GGB PODCAST: Adam Goldberg, CEO, Rock & Brews

Rock & Brews, a rock n’ roll restaurant concept with investors that include two members of Kiss, is exploding in the gaming space. Adam Goldberg, the CEO of the company, explains how it works for casinos.

When Kiss frontmen Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley wanted to invest in a company that specializes in good food and drinks, they went to Rock & Brews, a rock n’ roll bar and restaurant chain operated by legendary rock promoter Dave Furano. Today, there are almost 20 Rock & Brews locations across the country, many in casinos in California, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Florida. CEO Andy Goldberg explains how the company works with casinos, both commercial and tribal, and why Rock & Brews is building a powerful brand that can fit almost any gaming situation. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros on the exhibit floor at G2E in October in Las Vegas.
