Austinite is the new ‘Bachelor’
Ta-da! Brad Womack, who owns several Austin bars — including the Chuggin’ Monkey and the Dizzy Rooster — has been chosen to star in ABC’s new season of “The Bachelor.”
Womack, 34, is billed by the network as the reality romance series’ very own “McSteamy.” You be the judge.
Apparently owning or co-owning (with brothers Chad and Wesley) all those fabulously popular bars in town has not helped Womack find a suitable babe-mate, so he’s going to let producers of “The Bachelor” help.
Born in Atlanta, Womack moved to Texas when he was 12 and attended Texas State University for a year before taking an 8-year odyssey working in oil fields around the country.
His next career was bartending with twin brother Chad. They saved their money and bought their own establishment and have been adding to the Womack Family Bar Empire ever since.
“The Bachelor” begins its new season on Monday, Sept. 24 on ABC.

I'm just not a fan of an overload of facial feature symmetry, sorry. Two caterpillers for eyebrows stuck on a mannequin. What's going on with his hand?
Maybe I won't watch this season.

He's giving McSteamy a run for his money! Easy on the eyes for sure!

My friend at work forwarded this to me. She said he was one of the few bar owners to allow real world to come in when they were in Austin.

Wow what a catch for some stranger. Brad is genuine person and deserves to find a fabulous girl. Good Luck Brad! We will be watching.

Oh my! If this show represents us as poorly as the Real World cast who did nothing but frequent his "establishments", we are in TROUBLE!

Congrats to Brad! I remember Chad and Brad when they were working at Treasure Island! They have both come along way from being bartenders to bar owners. Couldn't of happened to a nicer guy.

It going to be fun seeing Brad handle 20-30 women on TV. Never watched it before, but will not miss an episode this season.
