🌵TWO YEARS BACK OPEN. TWO YEARS OF SUNDOWN. 🌵

Two years ago, Sundown Tavern opened its doors again, and what a ride it has been.

We truly wouldn’t be here without the people who walk through our doors, share our posts, bring their friends, dance to the music, eat our food, belly up to the bar, and continue to show up for us time and time again. Ruston, you’ve supported us, believed in us, and helped make Sundown what it is today. ❤️

To our staff, thank you for sticking with us through the growing pains, the crazy nights, the long days, and everything in between. Re-establishing Sundown has been a team effort, and we’re darn lucky to have the people we do.

And to Ruston, you’re one heck of a community. We’re proud to be a small part of it and incredibly grateful for the love you’ve shown us.

Here’s to two years back, everything we’ve built together, and whatever comes next. 🍻
