Just days after ringing in his 40th birthday, the Summer House cast member headed to the West Coast to catch up with several familiar faces. Carl shared his journey in a series of Instagram Stories, beginning with a Saturday (February 2) stop at TomTom — the West Hollywood bar/restaurant co-owned by Tom Schwartz.
“My guy [Tom] makes a mean cocktail. Thanks bruh," he wrote in the post, which showed the Vanderpump Rules alum smiling in the background.
Tom returned the shoutout in a subsequent Story: “East coast royalty,” he captioned a snap of him and Carl.

According to the TomTom Instagram page, Carl was at TomTom for its weekly brunch event.
“POV: You pop into TomTom for a casual brunch and end up feeling like you’re in an episode of Summer House: TomTom Edition!” read the TomTom post, which showed the two men posing together by the bar. “Thanks for joining us for brunch today, [Carl]! Hope you had fun with [Tom]!”

But Tom wasn’t the only Bravoleb in the house. Later that day, The Valley’s Brittany Cartwright shared a group shot of her, Carl, and Tom hanging out at the bar along with her castmates Jasmine Goode and Zack Wickham.

Carl spent the following day catching up with other friends, like The Valley’s Jesse Lally; hitting Barry’s fitness center; and enjoying a pool day at the London West Hollywood hotel.
It’s unclear if the trip was for business, pleasure, or a little bit of both, but it was obvious Carl had a good time.
Carl Radke to open a non-alcoholic bar in Brooklyn

The past year has been quite busy for Carl, as he prepares to open his non-alcoholic concept bar, Soft Bar + Café. The New York City-based businessman has been overseeing the bar’s construction and just completed a handful of pop-up events to promote the bar during dry January.
He discussed the venture during a recent sitdown with News All Day’s Shannan Ferry, explaining how his sobriety journey inspired the business move.
“It’ll four years, actually, in four days that I have not had a drink, been sober,” he said in the January 5 interview. “It’s been really powerful for me… I wanted to create a space where you could go any time of day and drink the best non-alcoholic drinks… I think we’re also trying to educate [about sobriety] and bring people together. It’s not about sitting in your apartment alone drinking non-alcoholic drinks."
Soft Bar + Café is expected to open in Brooklyn later this year.
