Patio Seating Open

The permit from the city came through, so now you can eat & drink on the lovely tiled sidewalk extension.

How You Know Your Bar Cares

Have you ever sat at a bar and wondered where to hang your purse or bag? Setting it on the bar gets in the way, hanging it on the back of the barstool doesn't always seem safe, and putting it on your lap is cumbersome.

That's where the under-bar hooks come in handy. Keep your purse, bag, or coat right there by your knee. You might not ever know they're there if you didn't know to look for them.

It's one of those little extras that lets you know Rankin Vault cares about its patrons.

And the FAB Wives

And while all the other stuff is great, did we mention the wives are FABULOUS!?!

(Can you tell who does all the PR and web work? Not to mention the hours sewing, painting, mopping, framing, dusting, grouting, furniture shopping...)

Speaking of which, check out our MySpace page and become a Friend. Or find us on Facebook.
