This is what community is all about! 🙌

​We are so incredibly happy to hear that our buddy Todd (Loess Hills Media and Podcasts) got his equipment back. Huge shout-out to Juan Escobedo over at Juanitos. To buy that gear, realize it was Todd’s, and refuse to take a dime to be reimbursed? That is legendary integrity.

​Go support this amazing family business at 722 Creek Top! Good people deserve good business—plus, they seriously have the best lengua in town! ❤️

​Proud to be a part of a community that watches out for one another.

📣 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

​We’ve seen a few comments floating around about our wild AI flyers. Message received... but we aren’t listening! 😂

​Let's be real—none of us are graphic designers, nobody is willing to trade professional art for cheeseburgers (we asked), and we are all working full-time here (plus most of us have second jobs!). Plain and simple: ain't nobody got time for that! 🤷‍♂️⏰

So if the robot posters aren't your vibe, just close your eyes until you get to the bar! We're putting all our energy into the food and drinks anyway. 😉
