10/11/2026

Apparently Jay checked the forecast, decided Mother Nature was getting too comfortable, and took matters into his own hands. Somebody PLEASE get that man off the roof before we have to add “roof rescue” to today’s specials. 😂🤦‍♀️

🌦️ WEATHER REPORT: High of 68°, cloudy, with some rain in the forecast. Basically, Indiana is serving up a sampler platter of weather today. Dress accordingly… or just accept that your hair had a good run. 👀

🏈 Football on the screens, drinks in your hand, good food in your belly, and absolutely no reason to be productive at home.

🍺 YOUR SUNDAY CREW:
🍻 Sarah opens the Tavern @ 11a
🍹 Nicole rolls in @ Noon
🏈 Evan runs in @ 5p

So come on in, grab a seat, catch a game, and help us keep Jay’s feet firmly planted somewhere OTHER than the roof.

Sports Day Sunday at Jay’s Midlake! Because apparently even the building needs supervision around here. 😂🍻

🍕🍺 NATIONAL B**R & PIZZA DAY! 🍺🍕

Well, look at that… a holiday that requires absolutely ZERO explanation and very little personal growth. 😂

Pizza? ✔️
B**r? ✔️
Decisions we’ll pretend to make responsibly? We’ll see. 👀

Jay’s already got the bar ready, the pizza is calling your name, and we’ve got a feeling nobody’s going to need a PowerPoint presentation explaining today’s menu. 🤣

🌤️ High of 78 today if anyone is keeping track… because apparently we’re all meteorologists now. Enjoy it while Mother Nature is still being halfway decent. 🙄

🍻 Today’s Tavern Lineup:
🕚 Evan opens at 11a
🕓 Sarah rolls in at 4p
🕔 Nicole joins the circus at 5p 🎪

So come grab some pizza, enjoy a cold Busch Light, and celebrate a holiday that finally understands your priorities.

Where the pizza is hot, the b**r is cold, and tomorrow’s problems can wait until … well … tomorrow. 😂🍕🍺

10/08/2026

High of 74° + sunshine today, which means TJ somehow made it in at 6a before the fog even had time to figure itself out. 😂

🍺 THIRSTY THURSDAY — ALL DAY!
No complicated instructions. Just show up thirsty and let Thursday make the questionable decisions for you. 👀

Here’s who’s holding down the fort:

🍻 Sarah opens the Tavern @ 11a
🍹 Allison slides in @ 4p
🍺 Evan & Nicole take over @ 5p
(Kitchen closes @ 8p)

And tonight… 🎤 KARAOKE 6–9p’ish!
Because apparently singing in public after a few drinks is considered entertainment and not evidence. 😂

Come enjoy the sunshine, grab a drink, and maybe discover that the song you thought you could sing… was, in fact, lying to you.

🎤🎶🍻 Thursday has plans. You should probably be involved.

10/07/2026

High of 76° and SUNNY today… which means absolutely no excuse for sitting around staring at the walls. 👀

Meanwhile, over at Jay’s Midlake, the day started exactly how you’d expect:

🐟 Jay was at the desk @ 6a — fully prepared to discuss minnows before most people had located their coffee.

🍻 Allison opens the Tavern @ 11a
Because somebody has to officially declare the workday over.

🍺 Sarah takes over @ 5p
And at that point, Jay’s checklist becomes more of a suggestion. 😂

And since we’re apparently running a very serious operation today…

✔️ Hump day has been confirmed
✔️ Caffeine is being monitored
✔️ Cold drinks are standing by
✔️ The staff has been warned
✔️ Lunch/dinner decisions can be made here
* OOOHHH and Karaoke Thursday tomorrow night!

🍖 Smoked Pulled Pork
🍗 Smoked Wings
🍔 Yummy Cheeseburgers

Basically, if you’re hungry, thirsty, bored, avoiding responsibilities, or simply need somewhere to go where nobody asks you to explain your life choices…

Jay’s Midlake has paperwork for that. 😂

📍 Jay’s Midlake
1908 W Old 101 Rd • Liberty, IN

Come see what’s on today’s checklist. 😏

10/06/2026

onto something …

10/06/2026

Karaoke King Alvin Day will be our DJ of’course!

Mark your Calendars for the 22nd!

🌤️ IT’S A RASPBERRY DONUT KIND OF DAY… 🍩😂

And apparently Jay has decided that raspberry donuts are now a perfectly acceptable breakfast, lunch, boating emergency, and possibly a personality trait.

Honestly… who are we to judge? 👀

High of 68° with SUNSHINE! ☀️
Which means it’s pretty much the perfect day to stop in, grab something delicious, and hang out on the deck before the snow flys…

Oh… I mean CROWS fly. 🐦‍⬛👀
You know what? Never mind. 😂

🍖 Smoked Pulled Pork
🍗 Smoked Wings
🍕 Smoked Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza

Because apparently choosing just ONE thing is asking too much of you.

TODAY’S CREW

🍺 Allison opens the Tavern @ 11a
🍻 Sarah in @ 4p
🍻 Evan & Nicole in @ 5p

Come hang out, enjoy the sunshine, eat something smoky, and maybe keep Jay away from the raspberry donuts before he tries to steer another boat with one in his mouth. 😂

Kitchen closes @ 9p
Tavern closes @ 11p

🌧️ GOOD MORNING, VEHICLE-NAMING WEIRDOS. 😂

Apparently we’ve got some blucky rain on the schedule today, hanging around until somewhere around 4 or 5ish. So if you were waiting for a perfect day to leave the house… well, this is it. 👀

TODAY is National Name Your Car Day, which means we have been officially given permission to judge your vehicle’s name. 😂

And yes… we need to HEAR YOURS!
Drop that automobile alter ego in the comments. 🚗👇

Around here, we have:

🚐 Gidget’s van — “Grandma Getter”
Because apparently it’s less of a minivan and more of a highly efficient granddaughter-retrieving transportation system. 😂

🛻 Jay’s red dually — “The Beast”
Of course it is. Because apparently “Jay’s Truck” wasn’t dramatic enough. This thing doesn’t drive somewhere… it arrives with a backstory. 😂

Meanwhile, TJ has been here since approximately 14 minutes before you cracked one eye open this morning.
The man has already accomplished things and we’re still negotiating with our coffee. ☕️

🍺 Sarah opens the Tavern @ 11a
🍻 Allison arrives @ 4p
🍺 Evan & Nicole in @ 5p

🍴 Kitchen closes @ 9p
🍺 Tavern closes @ 11p

Now quit pretending you don’t have a ridiculous name for your car.

LET’S HEAR ’EM. 👀👇
What do you call that thing sitting in your driveway? 😂

10/01/2026

WELL, LOOK WHO ROLLED IN… 😂

It’s 1908, Jay has apparently discovered the automobile, and the bartenders are still trying to figure out why anyone would need four wheels when two feet worked just fine. 🤣

🚗💨 Breaking news from Jay’s Midlake:
Jay has arrived in style.
We repeat… JAY HAS ARRIVED IN STYLE.
Someone hide the keys before he gets any more ideas. 😂

🌞 Weather report:
High of 83° with sunshine this morning and clouds this afternoon…
according to people who apparently know these things. 🤷‍♀️

🍻 THIRSTY THURSDAY IS ON — ALL DAY!
Because apparently we don’t need an actual reason to celebrate Thursday around here.

Today’s lineup:
🍺 Evan opens the Tavern @ 11a
🍻 Sarah & Allison take the wheel @ 5p

📚 ONE MORE THING…

Dolly may not have been around in 1908, but she sure would approve of what we’re doing now. 😉💗

Our Children’s Book goes until Oct. 26th …for our local Community Care Head Start programs!

We’re collecting NEW children’s books for ages 12 and under, and there’s plenty of kiddos who could use a little extra reading magic. 📚❤️

So bring us a book, grab yourself a drink, and help us prove that some things really do get better with time. 😉

Now get yourself to Jay’s before Jay invents the next big thing.

Who knows… maybe next week he’ll discover electricity. 😂⚡
