Bleary and teary eyed, it’s gonna take a few weeks to read all the amazing comments and messages from you all. Thank you.
We’ll be open for one last day of service on Saturday, January 31st starting at noon. We’ll stay open as long as we have food & drink to serve you. We have merch but we are NOT selling posters or anything just yet - we will likely be selling a lot of this stuff down the line so bear with us.
❌ PLEASE BE KIND AND DON’T STEAL SHIT
❌ NO RESERVATIONS OR TABLE BOOKINGS
Our staff is coming in one last time; we hope to see you all ✌️
Earlier this week, @damonwise1 was featured in the @nytimes to talk about the decline in alcohol sales and its impact on restaurants. It’s a tough topic to touch on when you’re a restaurateur: you want people to drink (indeed, the business model depends on it) BUT you also want to give people what they want. Restaurant owners know that this business is always in flux and is at the mercy of so many factors - and it seems like these shifts in drinking are here to stay, at least for now, in our corner of the world.
Thank you to @meghanmccarron for the coverage and excellent research and data; and to @edkashi for the photo.
In case you were wondering, Damon’s favorite NA drink @osofelipe.nj (because he, too, doesn’t imbibe) is our Gnargarita 🍋🟩 you’d swear it has tequila in it
We are still so sad about @pineappleexpressbarbecue ’s closure but in the aftermath, we’ve decided to host our friends @taylormadebandnj right here on our second floor. You may remember all the live performances Richie Cecere’s hosted here 💃🏼so we think it’s the perfect spot for a family friendly live show full of your favorite Taylor bops, plus Taylor tats and crafts from our friends @mobilemakers.us 💕 stop by 1-3pm on Valentine’s Day, all ages welcome, no cover, and the blue raspberry / strawberry lemonade slushies (N/A for the kids obv) will be flowing 🍹
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY PICKUP ⬇️
Still recovering from last week 😢 we’ve got a thank you post coming once the tears run dry. In the meantime, by popular demand we have *VERY* limited number of items for pickup on Super Bowl Sunday (2/8). What’s on the site is all we have, pick up between 12pm and 4pm. We’ve got:

Join us this Saturday, January 31st, as we come together to thank @pineappleexpressbarbecue for so many years of incredible service to our community.

❄️ GONNA BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY BUT JAMMIN ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ❄️
FRIDAY @ 8pm catch @enjoy_the_band_nj
SATURDAY @montclairspurs @ 10am and @damonwise1 book sale @montclair_flea
These snowy weekends and closures are rough on businesses - support local if you can these next few days - an extra order of waffle fries (or 2), order to go or delivery, grab your coffee and a dozen bagels before storm - your friends here and at small businesses appreciate it!
