Thank you Micro Bar • Bites for your support. We appreciate the help as we begin the process of putting car #7 together :-)
From June 1 - 7th we are participating in Negroni Week. For this entire week, we have created a delicious Negroni and for every one of these cocktails we sell, we will donate $1 to The Carma Project
The goal of The Carma Project is to encourage members of the community to come together and help another member of the community get going by taking a used vehicle, fixing it up,
and giving it to someone who’s in need of getting around.
Help us support this great community initiative.
