Blues Jam canceled 6-9-26
2026-06-09 18:00 - 21:00
It is VERY RARE that we will cancel the Blues Jam, but unfortunately tonight is one of those nights.

The weather is just being too unpredictable and so the band has decided to err on the side of caution and cancel due to the increased chances of large hail mixed with high winds.

Lounge will be closed tonight but TR Bar is OPEN now and we plan on remaining open at this time. Kitchen opens at 5:30pm.

Weekly special is French Dip Sandwich with fries.
