Dave's BAR

08/23/2026

At 2:00 a.m. this morning, the music stopped, the bottles and coolers were empty, and for the final time, the lights went out at Dave’s Bar.

And damn, did you guys send her out right.

Last night was everything Dave’s BAR could have hoped for.

The parking lot was packed. The patio was full. Inside was asses to elbows with the kitchen slammed. The music was loud, and there was laughter everywhere, hugs from people we’ve known for years, stories being told, selfies and Snapchats, drinks being raised, and one hell of a party happening inside our weird little hidden bar out back.

It was busy. It was vibrant. It was loud, and it was chaotic.

It was Dave’s BAR

And standing there last night, looking around at all of you, it was impossible not to feel overwhelmed by what this place became.

For five years, you gave Dave’s a life of its own.

You brought your families. You brought your friends. You celebrated birthdays and anniversaries. You sang karaoke, shot pool, danced, laughed, cried, raised money for people who needed it, watched games, made new friends and probably made a few decisions you’d rather not discuss publicly.

You gave us stories we’ll tell for the rest of our lives.

Last night wasn’t a funeral.

It was a celebration.

And there couldn’t have been a more perfect way to close this chapter.

To our staff, our regulars, our friends, our families, and every single person who ever walked through those doors, thank you.

Thank you for supporting us.

Thank you for believing in our crazy little hidden bar.

Thank you for the laughs, the loyalty, the friendships and the memories.

And thank you for showing up one final time and reminding Jess and me exactly why this place meant so damn much to us.

We walked out of Dave’s for the last time exhausted, emotional, incredibly proud, and with hearts absolutely overflowing with gratitude.

There are things in life you don’t fully understand the value of until you’re standing there saying goodbye.

Dave’s was one of them.

The doors may be closed, but what happened inside those walls belongs to all of us forever.

We will never forget last night.
We will never forget this place.
And we will never forget all of you.

Thank you,

Dave & Mrs Dave.

Some posts are easy to write.

This isn’t one of them.

With heavy hearts, and after more sleepless nights than we’d like to admit, we’ve made the difficult decision to sell Dave’s BAR through public auction on September 1st.

So, at the end of business Saturday August 22nd, Dave’s BAR will have its final “Last call for alcohol!”

Five years ago, we took a huge chance on this place and hoped to make it something special. What we never expected were the people we’d meet, the friendships we’d build, and the memories we’d make.

It’s impossible to sum up the last five years in just a few paragraphs, but what we’ll remember most is all of you. You made this place what it is, and for that, we’ll always be grateful.

As they say “Every chapter has an ending.”, and while this one is bittersweet for our family, we’ll always be proud it happened. As our family looks forward to what our future will bring us, we have one thing to say….

“We’re not done yet!”

There’s still time to make a few more memories together.

Stop in for one more basket of wings, one more round of drinks, one more karaoke song, one more night of live music, and one more evening spent with friends.

Help us give Dave’s BAR the sendoff it deserves.

Let’s make these final weeks the busiest, loudest, and most fun this place has ever seen!

We’ll save the tears for after last call.

Until then…

We’ll see you at the bar.

Dave & Mrs. Dave
