THANK YOU!! LAST CALL 1-31-2026
Last night was something I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.
The two weeks after deciding to close this chapter were bittersweet. I felt a wave of emotions, and a floodgate of memories came rushing in. Pat’s Pizza in Milo shaped the person I’ve become, and the people I met and shared friendships with here helped me grow into a better human being. It was never just a restaurant or a bar—it was a place to gather, to grow, and to connect. I learned so much about people within these walls, and about how the life we live is defined by who we meet, where we meet, and when we meet.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to come out—to see me, to talk, to laugh, and to reminisce. Every conversation, every story shared, every handshake and hug meant more than I can possibly put into words. There are a lifetime of memories inside the walls of Pat’s Pizza and Allie-Oops Sports Bar, and last night felt like all of them came rushing back at once.
If those walls could talk, they’d write countless books—stories of friendships made, nights that went way too late, laughter that spilled into the parking lot, and moments that quietly shaped who we all became. Seeing the place full again—truly full—felt like stepping back in time. Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights… just like the old days. I didn’t realize back then how special that was. I took a lot of it for granted. Last night, I didn’t.
To my staff—you absolutely killed it.
Holly, Nikki, Brooke, Keera, Philip, and Mylee—thank you for your hard work, your loyalty, and your dedication to Pat’s. You gave this place your time, your energy, and your hearts. You helped me grow not just as a business owner, but as a human being. What you gave here mattered more than you could ever know.
We got one more LAST CALL, and somehow, it was perfect.
Pete and I had the chance to end exactly where we started, and that full-circle moment felt really damn good. No rehearsal. No plan. Just music, friendship, and sixteen years of memories closing the loop.
As with everything in life, one chapter ends so another can begin. I’m deeply grateful for last night, and I’m grateful for the many incredible years, friendships, and stories that came before it.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for the memories.
Thank you for the love.
