To Our Gallery Bar Family ❤️
There are some things that are incredibly difficult to say and this is one of them. After everything we have built and poured into The Gallery Bar, I need to let our community know that myself and the Gallery Bar team have to say goodbye. These words do not come easily.
Myself and The Gallery Bar team have worked tirelessly, adapted, adjusted, sacrificed, and continued giving our all to a place that meant so much to so many people. Know that we didn’t give up easily and didn’t walk away because we stopped caring. There was simply no more that we could do.
The Gallery Bar became a second home for so many. It became a
home for artists and a stage for performers. It has been a place for dancing, laughing, celebrating, creating, meeting new people, falling in love, making friendships and sometimes simply having somewhere to go when they needed to feel like they belonged. We watched artists grow and performers take the stage. We hosted celebrations, fundraisers, art shows, workshops, drag shows, dance parties, karaoke, community gatherings, book clubs and countless nights that none of us will ever forget. It happened because of all of us. The bartenders who showed up giving everything they had, our security who have keep a watch over us all and the artists who trusted us with their work. Our performers and DJ’s who brought their talent through our doors. Not to mention our dedicated weekly pool teams. Also the people who came in week after week, supported us and became family.
And it happened because of you, our community.
I’m incredibly proud of The Gallery Bar team. We built something collectively that none of us could have built alone. Community.
To everyone who ever walked through those doors:
Thank you! Thank you for believing in us!
There will be a lot of emotions surrounding what happens next.
Believe me, we feel them too.
The Gallery Bar team did everything we could to save what we built. This isn’t the ending any of us wanted. Although it is the end of a chapter that I will forever be proud to have been a part of.
With very heavy hearts we thank you for two incredible years! Thank you for believing in us and standing beside us. Although this may be the end of this chapter myself and The Gallery bar team have the best intentions to continue on in a new form. Stay tuned! We love you all! And most of all, thank you for being our community!
