Today would have marked 15 years. It was a good run. Since you can't celebrate here, go see our friends at Station Tavern and Burgers this weekend and cheers to their successful 15 years!
11 years ago today, we opened the doors to Small Bar. It has truly been a Mr. Toad's Wild Ride full of the highest highs and the lowest lows. We played it safe at times and we also took some risks. We watched employees and customers marry, divorce, have babies, go to college, lose jobs, open their own businesses, and we will never forget the ones who have passed. As unprecedented as 2020 has been globally, here at Small Bar it was just another year of overcoming and adapting to rapidly changing times and difficult circumstances. Through it all, our community has always remained so important to us. Anyone that knows me, knows that not only in my words but in my actions. Should we not survive another year, please know how grateful I am for all of your support this past decade. To the employees who always did their best, I thank you. To the customers who remained loyal, I thank you. To friends and strangers that helped with improvements, installs, and upgrades who wouldn't take my money (because they knew I probably didn't have any π), I thank you. Although it may look a little different than it did when we first opened and there may be some new faces here to serve you, the soul is still present and we still have a lot of love to give. What a ride. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
