The Sturges Speakeasy

After much anticipation, Adam and Danielle Sturges proudly opened the doors to their new restaurant four weeks ago.  People poured into the restaurant on the first day to finally see the completely renovated and remodeled building, try Chef Ben Beaver’s food, explore the drink menu containing 200 different drinks, and partake in the extensive craft beer selection.  It was a success!  Almost all of the feedback they received was accompanied by a glowing recommendation…

So I’m pleased to introduce my new bosses, Adam and Danielle,

my General Manager, Justin Mcginniss,

and Chef Ben Beaver.

Let me tell you, they did an impeccable job…

Come visit!

Hours:  Monday thru Saturday 11am to 2am and Sunday 10am to 2am (Brunch is served on Sundays from 10am until 2pm)

I QUIT!

That’s right, folks!  This Friday, May 4th is my last day bartending at Chili’s in Harrisburg.  After 5+ years of margarita making, kids drinks blending, fajita smelling, sanity slipping, corporate bullshit… I’M OUT!

I love tending bar.  I’ve met so many wonderful people over the last 8 years… but I prefer to work with and for people who really believe in what they’re doing at a restaurant.  Meaning, I want to serve craft beer and a well thought out menu.  And I’d like to be able to tell a few dirty jokes.  Fortunately, I’m going to have the opportunity to do that!

Opening Soon!  The Sturges’ Speakeasy! 

And I promise to keep you all updated.

Love, Fresh

This is Maurer and Jay Jay.
