On behalf of the entire staff at the Handle Bar, we want to express our deepest gratitude to our veterans, active-duty military, and the families of those who gave everything. We hope you all have a safe, peaceful Memorial Day spent with the ones you love.

Three of our very own cooks graduated high school yesterday 🎓 if you've came into the bar over the last 3 years chances are one of these beautiful ladies cooked your food!

We'd like to congratulate each of them on their hard work and dedication you girls survived the late-night studying (and the late-night shifts). We are beyond proud of each of you and can't wait to see what goals you crush next!
All the Love, Your Handle Bar Family!
