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:
Faithful. Familiar. Full of character.
It’s your new living room — with better lighting and far better drinks.
Gunny’s pours coffee for early risers, martinis for nightcaps, and something a little unexpected for everyone in between.
No pretense.
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 tired.
Cold cocktails by sundown — stirred, shaken, or cracked open, your call.
A steak frites if you’re settling in, a smash burger if you’re just passing through.
The front hums with espresso and easy chatter.
The back glows low and lingers late — dinner, cocktails, conversation.
No bottle service. No velvet rope.
Just good food, honest drinks, and the kind of company you actually want to keep.
OUR DOG-EARED VALUES
We’re not trying to reinvent the bar — just build the one we always wanted to walk into.
Gunny’s is for the early risers, the night owls, the big laughers, and anyone who knows a good pour when they taste one. It’s where the bartender remembers your name, your drink, and when you need a quiet minute. Where coffee gets as much care as cocktails, and everyone’s treated like they belong.
Records spin. Conversations linger. Regulars are made the old-fashioned way — one round at a time.
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.
