Dear friends of Ninth & State,

Three years ago, Sean and I fell in love with this building and its amazing history. So, without any actual plan other than to try to restore it to its former glory, we bought it.

Fast forward through many ups and downs (including a global pandemic), the building and the bar have more than exceeded our dreams. But we never imagined all the wonderful people this adventure would bring into our lives.

So, it’s with mixed emotions that we announce our plans to pursue new and different opportunities — which means saying goodbye to this building and bar that you all have made such a special place.

Moving on is bittersweet, but knowing that we’re leaving this historic building in good hands makes all the difference. We’re fortunate to be able to give our friends, bartenders, and neighbors time to reminisce together and wish each other well.

We’ll keep our regular hours through November and then cut back our open days to Friday and Saturday in December. will remain open for the foreseeable future.

We have a lot to sell before the end of December, so please come by for a cocktail, a hug and a souvenir.

We are so grateful to all of you.

Much love,
Heather & Sean

Dance, Comrade 09/20/2023

Pitch article about our space way back in the days of MySpace 😂

Dance, Comrade Based on its name, we expected Korruption — the new West Bottoms watering hole — to be a Soviet-themed, “workers of the world, unite!” sort of place. After all, its bright-red MySpace page seemed to dictate that thirsty patrons needed a valid worker ID to enter. Plus, its logo is a hammer cr...
