New stretch target
Thank you to everyone who has supported us, the response has been incredible. This stretch target will go towards staff wages for getting the new spaces up and running.
Sadly after a big flood at our last venue the decision was made to make the move and look for a new space. Thanks to our amazing regulars we were recommend to lots of landlords in the area and we’ve been incredibly lucky to get the opportunity to open an intimate bar right in the centre of Bridport as well as a bigger event space up at the stunning new venture by Seals Cove. Björn will be opening up above the Viking Village at the start of December and DarkBear will opening back in town once we’ve found a new space.
To make this happen we need your support, we’re not looking for any hand outs and all of your pledges will be compensated when we get back open. If you’re unable to make it to the bar we can also send cocktails in the post or if in the Dorset area we can come and host a party at your place and save the taxi fare!
The money raised will go towards, furnishings, ice machine, glass washer and glassware plus purchasing stock from local producers.
Without your support we wouldn’t have made it through the trials and tribulations so thank you all and we look forward to hosting you for a proper cocktail soon.
