❤️ A Message to Our Old 97 Family ❤️
For years now, Old 97 has been so much more than a restaurant to us. It has been a place where friendships were made, birthdays were celebrated, live music filled the room, families gathered, and memories were created. We are incredibly grateful for every person who has walked through our doors and supported us along the way.
As many of you know, we are currently closed while taking some scheduled time away. During that time, we made the decision to extend our temporary closure as we focus our time and energy on an exciting new chapter that has been developing behind the scenes.
We truly believe this next venture has the potential to create something even bigger for our family and the future, and it deserves our full attention right now. While this transition is taking place, we are also taking the opportunity to reimagine what the next chapter of Old 97 could look like.
If you have a private event already booked with us, get excited...because we sure are! We can't wait to celebrate with you and your guests at the historic and beautiful Old 97. Those special moments are what this place has always been about, and we look forward to making each celebration one to remember.
Thank you for believing in us, supporting us, and being part of the Old 97 story. We are excited about what lies ahead and can't wait to share more with you when the time is right.
Until then...thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and your continued support. It truly means the world to our family.
If you have questions regarding a private event, future opportunities, or anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out. Mark can be reached at 330-690-3122 or Natasia at 330-808-4289. We're always happy to chat. ❤️
With gratitude,
Mark & Natasia Metz
