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 this all about?

Gunny’s is an all-day neighborhood pub serving lunch, dinner, coffee, beer, wine, and cocktails. The front room is casual and lively, while the back dining room is a little quieter and more intimate under the skylight. Come in for a quick lunchtime bite, settle in for dinner, or stop by for a drink and stay awhile.

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.
