In 2012 Paul and his wife opened up Camp Bar. The bar quickly became a neighborhood favorite later resulting in two more locations. It was only a matter of time before Paul combined his experience in the entertainment and bar industry to open up two event spaces - The Atrium and Birch. All together the brands form the Hackbarth Hospitality Group.
