So Bummed to announce that we will be canceling our NYE show with Bread and Butter due to the current uptick in Covid cases 💔 tickets will be refunded. We are so excited to get back to live music and show you all the new upgrades to the Sunset but the safety of our staff and our community comes first. We will keep y’all posted about all other shows ASAP. Stay Safe friends we will see you all soon ❤️❤️❤️

The Sunset is Back, Part III: FOR REAL THIS TIME

The Sunset is Back, Part III: FOR REAL THIS TIME We know this has been a long time coming, and we’re REALLY REALLY thankful for your patience as we’ve gone through this really long (and occasionally frustrating) remodel process, but we are happy to announce that we’ll finally be reopening for New Years Eve!!! Get your tix early for that at sunsettavern.com because it’s going to sell out quick. More updates to come, but we can’t wait to see you all at the Sunset again starting Dec 31! For context, pic 1 is the new background for the stage. Pic 2 is the new Green room for artists. Pic 3 is the in progress private bathroom/changing room for artists

WE'RE BACK!!! Err, we're working on being back anyway. Send booking requests to booking@sunsettavern.com. A couple days before we were shut down in March 2020, we started demo on part of the Sunset to build a better Green room for artists. That project has been stalled since then because, ya know, Covid and stuff, but we're getting back at it. We've got a lot of work ahead of us, but the Sunset is gonna be back sometime in September!!! Stay tuned for more updates as we get to work, but if you're looking to book some shows for September/October, drop us a line!

⁣⁣We hope you’re doing all right since we saw you last at the Sunset!⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣Unfortunately, as you might imagine, times have been tough for all of us at the Sunset since we’ve had to shut down to help battle the spread of the coronavirus. Due to the unique nature of the music industry, a lot of our staff unfortunately doesn’t qualify for unemployment protections and are really hurting due to this sudden loss of income. The really tough part is that we currently have no idea how long this is going to last; we’re currently fully expecting to be closed through all of April, and it could be longer than that. There’s also no guarantee we’ll be able to open normally once it’s safe enough for the ban to partially lift.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣So that’s why we’re asking for your help right now! I’m sure one or our bartenders has made you a tasty drink, or one of sound techs helped make a live show sound amazing for you, or one of our door staff has helped you as you entered a show! These folks definitely need your help right now, and please know that 100% of the net earnings of your donation will go directly to them to help them cover their basic living costs while we wait this thing out.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣We’ve got some cool things to offer to sweeten the deal too!

Come see us for a good time!
