SHINDIG NEWS!!
Life changes for all of us, and we are no different. So at this time I must share the news that Shindig Martini Bar is closed. It is time to move on to the next adventure and challenge life offers.

To all of our customers - those who been coming since the door opened 8 years ago, to those who just discovered us - we want to say thank you! Thank you for giving us an opportunity to serve you a great cocktail while you connected with friends and family.

We loved being the venue for your parties, having your bands play, hosting your art shows and helping you celebrate birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, babies and just having you stop by for no reason at all.

While the bar is closed, keep an eye out for our cocktail book that will be filled with all of your favorite Shindig recipes and photos of the same. You'll soon be able to taste your favorite Shindig cocktail at home!

Again, thank you for 8+ years of wonderful memories!
