If you were to tell us that what started as a casual offer in a “welcome home for the holidays” conversation with our friend and barkeep at our favourite little pub in Sackville would turn into what our last 4 years have become we’d say “no way, you have to be joking.” We had no experience bartending and no experience running our own business, just a desire to be a part of something that we could truly make our own in a community like no other in the world. We feel so proud of everything we’ve done and how we did it- we wouldn’t change it for anything. What a weird little thing we ended up with and what a wild ride it’s been.

Unfortunately, the present is complicated and the future is unknown - we don’t know when small pubs like ours might re-open, and if we would be able to operate again serving drinks and sharing a small space without fear and stress for each others' safety.

We’ve come to the very hard decision to close the pub. Despite accessing the supports made available to small businesses we are still unable to meet the expenses for the pub long enough to re-open - especially knowing that reopening will mean reduced capacity and increased overhead. We really feel that by putting this little pub away for a while we can wait until we’re able to one day do what we do best without restrictions and fear.

We want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Jon Claytor & Paul Henderson for originally opening this weird place for weirdos; our staff Klarka Weinwurm and Rebecca Blankert for their amazing work and friendship; Geordie Miller and his roster of hosts always keeping things moving; all our previous staff for working out the kinks with us; our regulars that keep us grounded; our friends for all your skills we exploited; our friends who are dogs; artists who displayed their art on the walls; poets and writers that read out loud to the room; and to every musician we had the pleasure of hosting and providing the best possible experience we could no matter who you are, thank you. Thank you so much.

See you soon,
Love Glenn & Anne

It is with great difficulty and a sense of fear for the future of this little pub that we announce that we are temporarily closed as of today March 16th. We will remain closed until we understand how to serve you safely and appropriately in the face of the covid-19 virus. Keep your eyes on our social media accounts for information about re-opening dates.

This is not an easy decision to make as we still have costs of operation whether our doors are open or not.

If you have the means without putting yourself in an uncomfortable position financially, we’ve set up an email address to send us a PAY-IT-FORWARD tab for when we reopen to help us out. We’ll keep track of it all and when we get a clear picture of what re-opening will look like we promise to come back better than ever.

Be a PAY-IT-FORWARD pal if you can and send over the price of a drink or two -> [email protected]

We love you all and we want to be here for you once we get through to the other side of this so we can put this all behind us and get back to doing what we all do best.

Xoxo

Like everyone in the service industry, Thunder & Lightning is grappling with how to keep our staff and our visitors safe. That is going to take a little bit of work. As a result, we are going to close tonight at approximately 11:00, after trivia.

The performer for tomorrow's Sunday Session has had to cancel their show, so we plan to stay closed tomorrow evening, March 15 as well.

Please keep in touch for updates on our hours next week!

This is a complicated situation for the service industry, serving the public to make a living. We're doing everything we can to protect ourselves against the spread of Covid-19 and still be open to the public. We ask, please, if you've traveled to any of the affected areas in the last 14 days or if you're showing signs of contracting the virus to please just stay home.

As we're a relatively small space and we're still set to go forward with all our programing and events. We will put out proper notice if/as things change for any particular events.

Think about your community, wash your hands, stay cool.

Much love in a weird time on this round sphere we call earth.
