Rio Rita

Mild mannered coffee shop by day, swanky lounge by night.

Hey hey! As you all know, we were on our way to re-opening the bar with daytime coffee and cocktail hours, and weekend night dance club hours. The stop in momentum has put a huge dent in our pockets, and as we are trying to recover, we have been thinking of some fun creative ideas & win-win situations, where we can have a little fun making something, and you can have some fun buying it and also supporting us while you’re at it! These shirts are for sale, in crop top (white) and unisex (black). They’ll be shipped to you a few days after you order! The store closes in 13 days so you have 13 more days left to cop these! Can’t wait to open again and serve the neighborhood some delish drinks!
