Happy International Women’s Day! 💕

Today, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible women who make the world, and this business, go round.

I’ve always had a profound respect and appreciation for the strength of women. Growing up in a household led by a single mother and alongside my younger sister, I learned early on the power of resilience, leadership, and heart. Those lessons shaped who I am today and how I view the world.

It’s a unique dynamic here: I (Chris Rivera) am actually the only man on the team! Every other person behind the scenes is a talented, dedicated woman. I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by their expertise and perspective every single day.

To my team: Thank you for everything you do. And to all the women in our community: We see you, we honor you, and we celebrate you today and every day.

Hey everyone! We know we’ve been a little quiet on here lately, but for good reasons! We’ve been working hard behind the scenes!

We are thrilled to announce that we have officially hired a new Director of Bar & Events, and it’s a face many of you already know: Amber Nickerson!

Amber has been a vital part of our team for years as a bartender and event staff. When she’s not behind the bar, she serves as a school social worker, where she channels her passion for advocating for children’s mental health and leading our youth.

We are so excited to have Amber’s leadership and heart in this new role. Please join us in giving her a huge congratulations! 🎉🍾
