We are proud to introduce the New Management Team: Brian Falvey, Chris Washburn, & Chris Serrano! With over 40 years combined experience in the nightlife industry, the three of us understand what it takes to make a bar: fun, sustainable, and successful. We are passionate and super motivated to make The Upstairs/Lot-10, the most welcoming, exciting, inclusive, and safe social spot in Ithaca! 😁

15 years ago, Falvey and DJ Washburn were responsible for transforming The Moonshadow Tavern (a small happy hour spot) into Moonies, where it flourished as the most popular bar & nightclub for over a decade. Serrano became part of that team during his time as a student at Ithaca College and has been an integral piece ever since. All three are Ithaca Residents, IC alumni, and proud supporters of the Ithaca and Bomber communities! 💣💙

Brian, a former PHD student, entered the bar industry in San Diego before returning to Ithaca to run Moonshadows back in 2008. He loves animals, The Yankees, and has always been into health and fitness.

Chris Washburn, better known as DJ Washburn, got his start at Moonshadows after graduating from IC and has since gone on to become an internationally known celebrity DJ, keynote speaker, TV poker star, multiple business owner, and avid softball player.

Chris Serrano is from NJ and has become a popular and notable bar manager, bartender, and DJ during his decade long career here in Ithaca. He loves football, music, and has a passion for marketing.

We are VERY excited to get started this weekend and look forward to your support and feedback. This is just the start of the journey and we appreciate your flexibility as we figure things out. 🙏🍻
