We wanted to take a minute and give our condolences to the family and friends of Lindsey Bouska.
Lindsey was an amazing employee here at Merichka's for many years. She worked as a bartender and server and was such a joy to work with for everyone. She would help out immediately when asked and was always
working with a smile. One of the kindest people you could ever meet. Last week her life was tragically cut short in an automobile accident. Please keep Lindsey and her loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. If you are looking to help with any sort of monetary donation, her loved ones are requesting any donations be sent towards The Yard Foundation for firefighters. Thank you everyone and take care…

Teamwork makes the dream work. Thanks to all the employees and family members who worked tirelessly to get this old place back up and running safely! These are just a few photos to show a small part of our operation. We plan on opening tomorrow Saturday at our normal hours. We are hoping not to run out of anything this weekend, but it may take a few days to get fully back on track. Here’s to everyone trying to get back to some normality after this past week! And thank you for your patience everyone it really means a lot!

08/13/2026

Good news everyone! Power is back! Bad news is we won’t be open until Saturday so we can clean up and prep everything fresh. Thank you everyone for the patience and we hope you are all getting back to normal as well. Thank you also to family members Ryan George, Becky Velasquez, and Matt Aharrah for helping with inventory cleanup the past few days. Also want to make note of all our amazing employees willing to always help out. We are very fortunate to have such an amazing crew all these years!
We will be closed tomorrow Friday but plan on opening Saturday. I will let you all know if that changes. Thank you again everyone!!

08/13/2026

Hi everyone. Still closed. I will post when we open up. Thanks so much!

08/12/2026

Hi everyone. We are closed until further notice due to outage. We truly appreciate everyone’s kindness and compassion. No one was hurt and that is always the most important thing. We will try to get up and running as quickly as we can once power comes back on. But we will have to make a lot fresh items so it may take an extra day or so.
To everyone that is dealing with this we are thinking about you as well….take care and we will keep everyone posted!
