Who we are *

When we say we’re family owned - we mean it!
My name is Calye, my Husband is Randy - and this is our army!
(Yeah…. We’re a big group!)

I started in the service industry at age 15 as a dishwasher and I learned many roles as a Cook, Server, Bartender, Part-Time Maintenance (just kidding, but really), and Manager at multiple restaurants here in Tucson. I have worked at this specific restaurant since 2018. I started at Growler USA Microbrew Pub as Assistant General Manager then advanced to General Manager. In 2020 Firetruck Brewing Company took over the store, where I stayed and ended up managing multiple of their locations at once as District Manager before the closure in 2024. I absolutely love this store; the people who come to it, the memories it has, and the area we are in. It’s like my home away from home - my kids have all literally slept in the office at one time or another. I remember all the regulars and all the snow birds every year, and they remember me. I had staff that was with me for YEARS, some still are! So, when the opportunity arose to take it over, OF COURSE we did everything we could to make it happen! My husband and I spent a good while looking into ways to make it happen- and boy it was not easy (& still isn’t)- but we finally got the keys September 2024, with the help and support of several family members and friends! Randy’s background is repair/remodel and new/custom home builds - so he worked every day to make this dream of mine come true. From flooring to paint, to remodeling the bar, he brought it to life- then my grandmother made it bloom with flower decor! Our children have been huge supporters and helpers, especially since now they know it’ll be theirs one day. You should hear the creative ideas they have! They tell everyone “My mom and dad opened up a restaurant, follow us on Facebook!” - Tell me that isn’t the sweetest?!

Our long term goal is to ensure our guests keep coming back- for the food, the staff and the environment. We are a family owned business and after a while, you become apart of the family. We love catching up on our guests family stories and events. In addition, we love feedback! Return customers and new customers have a voice, and we want to hear it! Didn’t like their salad this time? They can tell us! Everything was wonderful? They can tell us! Feeling down that day and need us to make suggestions and choices for them? They can tell us! We want to help and grow in any way we can to ensure everyone has an incredible experience. We want to be a venue for all! Just because “booze” is in the name, doesn’t mean you must partake. Just like “Applebee’s Bar and Grill”, we have kids menus and coloring pages. We invite families and PTO clubs, everyone on their lunch break, and whoever just wants to enjoy a nice breakfast/brunch! While we care very much about the business aspect, we also care about teaching our children along the way. Teaching them how to treat people, how to cook, how to manage high stress situations, how to manage numbers, and how to manage time. While these are things people “learn every day”, the hospitality industry teaches you on another level - and being owners is a whole other level. It’s true when they say that when you support local, you’re helping pay for dance classes, football camp, and STEM classes. It’s true that the little guys care more- about their employees, their customers, and their business choices. We hope to bring an impact, and we hope to leave a footprint in this world.

We are just a simple family, trying to make a dream come true, and we can’t do it without all of you!
