OT: New Super Friendly Michigan Bar in Indiana
Hey ya'll. Friendly neighborhood MGOBREWER here. I see people all the time announcing big news (birth's, acceptance into UM, what not), and I just wanted to let everyone know that as of yesterday at 12:00pm, I have realized my life's dream, and bought a sports bar here in Evansville Indiana.
As far as my name goes, I'm leaving the brewing industry for now, so it's switched to my nick-name. MGOBREWER is dead, for the time being at least.
As far as the bar goes, it's 100% locally owned, located in Evansville, Indiana, and the owner (myself) might be the biggest M fan within the surrounding 100 miles.
Michigan athletics will always be on, full volume.
So if you're a Wolverine in the Southern Indiana area, come by Doc's (The bar's name) and see the Big Cat.
I absolutley promise not to post again about my place of business, and not to promote for financial purposes on here as a whole thread (if i see a comment saying, where can I watch a game in Evanvsille, I'll probably let them know)...
...I've just been saving, and dreaming, for a decade, and now it's happening, for you one of your own.
Cheers, everybody.
AND GO BLUE.

I heard they’re running a promotion that the first 500 Michigan fans get a beer on the house!

bet he's still a football guys guy
October 12th, 2017 at 1:27 PM ^
I live in New Albany, but will make sure to make it down to E-Ville soon to check out your place! I'm assuming that all UofM games will be shown at said place of business?
GO BLUE!

Ab so lutely

My family (and Michigan grad father) still lives in Newburgh - we’ll be at the game this weekend but I’ll tell him to check it out.
October 12th, 2017 at 1:43 PM ^
thanks!
October 12th, 2017 at 2:15 PM ^
Fellow Newburgh-ian here!
Looking forward to a UM friendly bar! Will have to tell my dad and visit!
October 12th, 2017 at 1:40 PM ^
Will you be running a shuttle bus to and from Bloomington for Saturday's game? If yes, I'm totally there Friday night into Saturday morning when the bus leaves!
October 12th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
I'll be in B Town as well. But no shuttle.
October 12th, 2017 at 2:06 PM ^
"no" to the shuttle bus, but yes to the all-nighter at your new bar? I'll settle for that.
PARTY IN EVANSVILLE!!!
October 12th, 2017 at 2:10 PM ^
Just a heads up, I take full control Dec 1. I will be there tomorrow, haha. But if you see anything wrong, 12/1 is when you can write me an email complaning haha.

I'm not far from you in Sullivan and work in Vincennes, but I will stop in and see you sometime.
October 12th, 2017 at 2:57 PM ^
Forever, when dad and I would head to Detroit/Ann Arbor, or to our cabin in Baldwin, we always, always, always ate breakfast at the Hardee's in Sullivan.
October 13th, 2017 at 11:44 AM ^
Worked there for a spell in high school. Best breakfast in Sullivan is the Kat A Korner, get the Hunters Mountain

Congratulations! If this is your first run at owning/operating a small business, get some sleep now, because owning a bar/store is more time consuming than having small kids. But it's almost as rewarding. Nothing better than giving the man the finger and working for yourself.
Does the bar have a website? If not, make one. And link it here.
October 12th, 2017 at 3:10 PM ^
Here's an idea: web based beer sales. Your bar 3D prints me a beer right at my desk over the interwebs.
October 12th, 2017 at 3:47 PM ^
Cool beans will stop in next time I'm in that area
October 12th, 2017 at 4:11 PM ^
Congrats BrewCat!! Here's hoping your dream provides you with much joy and minimal frustration. Would love someday to not have to work for "the man".
October 12th, 2017 at 6:59 PM ^
My brother goes to U of E. I'll have to go and visit him and come check it out!
October 12th, 2017 at 7:21 PM ^
Awesome and congrats! Leaving the brewing industry "for now" - so next step microbrewery? As a home brewer, I can only dream...
October 12th, 2017 at 7:22 PM ^
I can't find a good Michigan bar here in Fort Wayne and you couldn't be further away in this god damned state. In all seriousness, congrats and good luck!
October 12th, 2017 at 8:35 PM ^
Scotty's Brewhouse is where we all congregate! Big Penn State watch party. Come on down my friend! I'll be in Kalamazoo for the game on Saturday (wedding of course) or else I'd be there watching the IU game. Check it out.
October 12th, 2017 at 10:29 PM ^
nice try, WD
October 12th, 2017 at 10:33 PM ^
And best wishes on your new business!!
October 13th, 2017 at 4:37 AM ^
I'm also in Evansville. Looks like there are several of us in the area. It will be good to have a place for drinks nearby that isn't completely IU, Kentucky and/or ND.
We'll stop by to meet you and have a few!
October 13th, 2017 at 8:45 AM ^
There's a decent sized crowd of us here. My wife and I opened our house up for the M/Florida game and, in passing, saw about 25 people come through the door.
October 13th, 2017 at 6:17 AM ^
Good Luck!
