We had the good fortune of connecting with Kyle Wigginton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kyle, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
There really wasn’t much of a thought process behind it. This is just what I’m supposed to be doing. I tried the 9 to 5 grind at a younger age and that ended in depression. Slowly life pushed me into doing what I do today.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Simply put, my art is people.

I love to use my creative talents to help others amplify their skill sets. One way we do this is by utilizing Another Bar as a platform to showcase/pay artists for their talents. We also run a podcast out of the bar where we highlight a couple of artists weekly.

One of the major lessons I’ve learned is that the world is hurting for the arts and for community in general. Here at Another Bar, we try to make everyone feel like a part of our little family.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them to the hidden gem of New Orleans, Freret street.

Most tourists make their way to the French Quarter and that’s fun but they are missing out on the essence of New Orleans, the people.

So, I would give my friend that experience by taking them to the neighborhoods. Each neighborhood in New Orleans has its own pocket of things to do. I’m biased toward Freret street as that’s where my favorite bar resides. We would sample all the different foods the street has to offer, listen to the local musicians, and just chat with the eclectic people that we come across.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family deserves the most credit. Strong male and female role models in my formative years taught me firm compassion allowing me to become the leader I am today.
