Wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous 2026. On behalf of Catherine and I,we would like to thank you all for your continued support and well wishes.

As most of you know we normally close for January, this year we will also be closed for the month of February.

The future of small rural bars like ours are at risk, increasing costs and cultural changes are a major challenge. We love our little bar, Rathanna and our amazing community, hopefully we will see you all again in March. Eric & Catherine
