🚨 WELL, THE WI-FI HAS OFFICIALLY RUINED EVERYONE’S WEEKEND. 🚨

Our Wi-Fi decided to throw in the towel last night right as the music started and, after several heroic attempts to resurrect it, we’ve been informed it won’t be back until MONDAY. 😭📡

And unfortunately, a bar without Wi-Fi is apparently just a building with free bourbon in it. 🤷‍♀️🥃

So, heartbreakingly, we’ll be CLOSED until Monday.

To all our favorite people who were planning on stopping in this weekend: WE’RE SORRY. We miss your faces already. ❤️

Please enjoy your weekend responsibly… or at least irresponsibly somewhere with working Wi-Fi. 😂

We’ll see you Monday with cold drinks, good bourbon, and hopefully ONE LESS TECHNOLOGICAL DEMON TO FIGHT.

Love,
The exhausted humans who have lost a battle with the internet. 🥃📡💀

🎤 You asked… and apparently you weren’t kidding. 😆

SINGO is finally here at The Cooperage Bar! 🎉

Starting this Wednesday, join us at 7:30 PM for a night where singing isn’t required… but knowing the songs definitely helps. 🍻🎶

🎵 Hear the song.
🎵 Mark your card.
🎵 Win prizes.
🎵 Brag about it until next Wednesday.

🏆 Prizes for our first THREE winners!

So gather your smartest (or luckiest) friends, grab your favorite drink, and come prove your playlist is better than everyone else’s. Worst case? You leave with great cocktails and a few songs stuck in your head. Best case? You leave with a prize and lifelong bragging rights.

📍 The Cooperage Bar
🗓 Every Wednesday
🕢 7:30 PM

We’ll see you Wednesday… and yes, we fully expect someone to dramatically sing along anyway. 😉🍹

2020-A picture worth over 1000 words. Thank you to everyone who sent messages, who showed up, who kept BOM running strong while I unlocked these doors to the public for the first time, who believed in me, who helped with ideas, who worked long hours Daily to bring this to fruition, who clocked in, and who have pushed me to take days off and breathe. This would have never been able to happen without each and every one of you. Now that the dust has cleared its time to move onto the next 🤫

2026 - Reading this now hits me in a way I never saw coming. This its just a bar to me, its a chapter in a book I never thought I would get to write. The cooperage has seen all stages of my adult life and now I get share it on a more personal level.

Thank you to taylor for giving me the push I needed to allow my hard work to oay off and thank you to Jeremy Stanley for being by my side in every adventure I put us on.. 325 w broadway, we cant wait to make you proud as the keys to the door are officially ours.

Frankfort- we cant wait to make you proud, be on the lookout for whats to come ✨
