🐻 “Don’t Poke The Bear” — Help Save The Grizzly Bar & Grill
Lander, Wyoming —
The Grizzly Bar & Grill has always been more than a business. It’s a community hub — where friends gather, artists perform, and locals unwind after long days of hard work. But right now, that spirit is under siege.
We’re locked in a legal battle against a landlord whose actions have gone too far — shutting down operations, cutting off essential utilities, and sabotaging the very livelihood of this small-town bar.
---
⚖️ The Fight We’re In
We’re defending our rights and our investment against what we believe are unfair, unethical, and retaliatory tactics. Recently, the landlords shut down refrigeration in the bar area, destroying hundreds of dollars in beer and food inventory and forcing us into an operational standstill.
This reckless action didn’t just waste product — it shut down revenue entirely, even though there was no legal or moral justification for such an extreme move.
While the case drags through the courts, we’re left with mounting losses, ruined inventory, overdue annual fees, and staff members on payroll who now need temporary support just to get by.

💔 What’s at Stake
Without immediate relief, we risk losing:
Thousands in spoiled food and beer inventory
Our ability to pay loyal staff who stood by us through chaos
The business license and permits that keep The Grizzly alive
The community’s favorite gathering place!
💵 Where Your Help Goes
Every donation goes toward:
Legal defense to fight back against unjust landlord actions
