THE LEGEND OF GUNNY
Dedicated to the best Bark-Back we ever knew.
Gunny’s is for people who like their bars how they like their dogs:
Old, loyal, and a little scruffy.
It’s your new living room, with better lighting and worse decisions.
Gunny’s serves coffee with a side of gossip, beer with a side of darts, and every pour with a wink.
No frills.
No bottle service.
No strangers for long.
WHAT’S POURING
We’re not open yet—but we’re already your new favorite spot.
Hot coffee in the daylight for the early birds and the beautifully hungover. Cold beer by sundown—cheap or crafty, your call. A steak frites if you ask nice, grilled cheese if you don’t. Trivia nights that spiral, vinyl hours that vibe, and the occasional open mic for anyone brave enough. Darts and dominoes in the back, espresso in the front, and good company all the way through. No bottle service. No velvet rope. Just the kind of bar that feels like yours before it technically is.
OUR DOG-EARED VALUES
We’re not trying to reinvent the bar—we’re just building the one we always wished existed.
Gunny’s is for the early risers, the late stayers, the loud laughers, and the people who bring their own darts. It’s where the bartender knows your name, your order, and when to let you be. Where coffee’s taken seriously, and no one gets side-eyed for ordering tea. Where we play records, not playlists. Where trivia is sacred, weirdos are welcome, and regulars are made, not born.
We believe a good bar doesn’t need a theme night to be memorable.
It just needs heart, good lighting, and maybe one very old dog keeping watch.
Want to work with us?
Gunny’s is for the people, and that includes the crew behind the bar.
Looking for folks who take pride in their work, treat people well, and aren’t afraid to get a little weird. Sound like you? Say hi.
