TUESDAY! Our wonderful and fantastic is gracing us for one last jaunt behind the Leyenda stick! Nik joined us when we first reopened during the pandemic. We didn’t even get to see that beautiful face of his for the first many months he worked here. He was a bartender and our bar manager and all-around stand-up wonderful human. We are so happy that he came back from Denver to bartend one last shift as we continue our Legends of Leyenda series!

Spoiler alert, we will not be serving his Tomatini because frankly the prep is too insane. But we will be serving other Nik Sparks Classics!

Come one, come all! TUESDAY 6-10❤️❤️❤️ We love you, Nik! ❤️❤️❤️
