Itās official! Please let me introduce you to the NEW owners of Basin Martini Bar, Mariah & Darrel Gardner. Many of our patrons will recognize that face, as she has been our bartender and manager for nearly 5 years!
A little backstoryā¦we hired Mariah literally over the phone; she came as a referral from a friend and she started the very day we called her! We were desperate, she hadnāt bartended before, I looked her up on socials, she was cuuuute, and we took a gamble. Turns out it was one of the best business decisions we ever made. This girl is fierce! She isnāt afraid of hard work and that is hard to come by these days.
We trained her up, and today she could probably teach us more than a few things behind the bar. She took a little hiatus to teach post Co&*d, we missed her, and Iād like to think maybe she missed us too, but either way, she came back!! We watched her get married, and I felt like she was one of my own that day. To see the bar go to someone who I know will fight like hell to see it succeed is all I ever wanted for it from the day we decided to sell it. My husband and I met there, and have owned it for just over 6 years, but before that it belonged to my brother and sister-in-law since they opened it in 2008, so its continued success has meant a great deal to me.
I canāt think of two better people to keep the chill vibes at Basin Martini Bar alive. Please continue to support Mariah & Darrel as you have done us. Be good to them, and they will always do right by you, Iām sure of it. Come in soon, and often, to show them some love.
And finally, my family and I would like to thank you for the support that you have shown us over the last six years. We have enjoyed serving you and getting to know many of you during that time. This is a bittersweet chapter in our lives, and weāre incredibly thankful to those of you, customers and employees alike, that helped us write it. Cheers, friends!
