Good morning everyone. With the up coming bowling season just around the corner, we would like to have a pre season bowling meeting. The date will be Tuesday August 25 at 6:30 pm. We would like to encourage everyone who plans to bowl this season no matter which day to attend.

There’s something about working a job where you actually have FUN that hits different. 😂

Bartending has taught me that you can be absolutely exhausted and still have the time of your life. 💯💪

We are behind the bar laughing with customers, joking with our coworkers, vibing while making drinks, listening and telling stories, and somehow 4 hours have disappeared. 😂🍹

And that’s when you realize… THIS is why I love bartending.

Because when you genuinely enjoy the people you work with, the conversations, the chaos, and all the little moments in between, it doesn’t really feel like work.

They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.

I’m pretty sure they were talking about bartenders. 😂🍻

Well folks the new Patio is ready to use. We only have small additions to make to it in next few weeks, and hopefully everyone can enjoy it for as long as Mother Nature let's us.
We have a few request: please don't take glass out on patio, clean up after yourself, and ORDERS must be place at the bar. Other than that we look forward to sharing all the hard work that Dave put into getting this done, with the help of Ryan, and Jeremy on the door, and the great work of Chad Miller and his crew for the concrete. **No pets allowed.
Thank you for the first year of business with us!
You all helped make it happen.

Being a bartender is so much more than pouring drinks. 🍻❤️
It takes patience, strength, thick skin, compassion, and a whole lot of energy. We spend hours on our feet, work late nights, miss weekends and holidays, clean up messes we didn’t make, deal with attitudes we didn’t deserve, and somehow keep smiling through it all.
We’ve seen people at their best, and we’ve seen people at their worst. We deal with the rude customers, the drunk arguments, the people who think snapping their fingers will get our attention faster, and the nights when we’re exhausted but still have a room full of people depending on us.
But there’s another side to bartending that people don’t always see.
Sometimes we get to hand someone a drink while they celebrate a birthday, an engagement, a new job, or simply making it through another week. 🥂
Sometimes someone sits down at our bar after one of the worst days of their life, and what they really need isn’t the drink—they need someone to listen.
We hear about heartbreaks, marriages, divorces, new babies, lost loved ones, new beginnings, and everything in between. We laugh with strangers who eventually become regulars, and regulars who eventually start feeling like family.
There are nights when this job will test every ounce of patience you have. There are nights your feet hurt, your back hurts, your social battery is completely gone, and you wonder how you’re still functioning.
And then someone looks at you and says, “Thank you. I really needed this tonight.”
And suddenly you remember that sometimes being a bartender means being a small part of somebody’s story.
We pour the drinks, but sometimes we also pour a little happiness into a celebration, offer a little comfort during a hard time, give someone a place to belong, or simply provide a listening ear when they need one.
It’s exhausting. It’s chaotic. It’s definitely not always glamorous.
But sometimes, it’s pretty damn rewarding. ❤️🍻
Cheers to the bartenders—the drink makers, listeners, problem solvers, peacekeepers, entertainers, and unofficial therapists behind the bar. 🥃
