Ever notice how some goodbyes are far harder than others ... well, this was absolutely one of those times.

While our guy Karthik has 'left' several times before, and always managed to find his way back, this time felt a little different.

After Saturday, there were heartfelt and genuine tears coming from the 🐐 as he started saying his farewells to staff. Colleagues that he may not see again, at least not before he departed for Morocco

This so-long had a brevity and weight behind the embrace as he wished us all well.

We're not sure this was the finale, but in case it is ... we can say, without reservations, that there's been nobody quite like him!!

We love you Karthik! Safe journeys and the best of wishes from all of us here at The Pub; you'll always have a home with us brother! ❤️

This November, in conjunction with our good friends from IU Auditorium (and ahead of SIX The Musical), The Upstairs Pub is collaborating with Middle Way House to help raise funds and awareness to support survivors of domestic violence.

Throughout the month of November, The Upstairs Pub will offer a special purple-themed beverage(Grape Long Island), with a portion of the proceeds benefiting MWH's programs and services.

This partnership (🤝) is intended to give community members an opportunity to help support survivors through a valued, local business committed to assisting and giving back.

Whether you choose to participate by purchasing the featured beverage, making a direct donation, sharing information about their (MWH) services, or learning more about domestic violence prevention, every form of support helps strengthen our community.

Thank you to Middle Way House for standing with survivors and helping raise awareness.
