â€ïž PART THREE OF OUR GOODBYESâŠ
Seven years ago, we unlocked the doors to Local Tap with a dreamâand no idea how many wonderful people would become part of our story.
To our customers, thank you for every pint, cocktail, laugh, conversation and celebration. You didnât just support Local Tapâyou made it your place.
A special thank-you to Customers #1 through #10, who took a chance on a brand-new business and are still walking through our doors today. That kind of loyalty means everything.
Thank you to our vendors, especially Victor Ykoruk, Boardroom Spirits and BlueBird for always taking such good care of us. And to Jeff Perlman, my right hand in entertainmentâthank you for making live music effortless and helping create so many unforgettable nights.
To everyone who trusted us with birthdays, engagements, showers, retirements, fundraisers and countless other celebrationsâit was an honor to be part of your memories.
And then there were our employeesâthe people who helped make Local Tap the friendliest place to visit.
Wendi cared for Local Tap as though her name were on the door, and she had a rare giftâeveryone who walked in felt like they had been her best friend for years.
Next came Brian (RIP), who charmed everyone.
Mark became our Saturday lunch staple. Diane turned Tuesdays into one of Local Tapâs most popular days, creating her own loyal group of regulars.. Sam became a customer favorite because she could talk sports with anyoneâVicki, Jen,
Ashley, Matt, Brianna, Laura and Sue each brought their own personalities and warmth to Local Tap.
And, of course, Shannon Dwyerâour very special ray of sunshine and PR person, who always brought her energy and heart to Local Tap.
Along with everyone else who joined us throughout the years, they helped make Local Tap feel like home.
Together, we survived an 82-day COVID shutdown, celebrated incredible highs, pushed through difficult lows and made friendships weâll carry forever.
Thank you for making Local Tap so much more than a bar.
You made it a community. â€ïž
