Community
We believe that a great business exists because of the support of the local community. Therefore, a business should be an active extension of the community and should strive to find meaningful ways to give back.
We work to positively impact our community through a number of ways. At the pub, we have two 20 foot long community tables as the main seating option. Our hope is that people sitting there will meet their neighbors and engage in lively conversation, and through doing so, strengthen our community. "We should look for someone to east and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink." - Epicurus, 4th Century BC
We chose to locate our business in a neighborhood as opposed to a commercial district. We like the idea that people can walk or bike to our place from their home. We also like that we found a dilapidated building that was once an eyesore and we brought it back to life to become a viable part of the neighborhood.
One of our goals is to give 10% of profits to charity. We are focused on local organizations and wish to help improve the safety and beauty of our neighborhood.
