GLORY DAYS During its heyday, from 2014 to 2017, the “little saloon that could” hosted numerous free parties, holiday feasts and community potlucks, and with planks covering its single pool table, turned it into a buffet spread feeding maybe 100 guests for an em- ployee’s birthday, someone’s new hair style, or many other oddball occasions.

Though it’s not a hard date, Derek Bekemans, the current owner, says he’s hanging up his cook’s apron around the end of September.
