“Friends of Lost River,
We wanted to let you know that Lost River will be on a temporary hiatus. A lot has changed in the world over the past 5 years since we opened -- both at the bar and personally in the lives of everyone involved making this happen -- and we figured now is a good time for a pause to rethink, retool, and reimagine what the space is and what it can become.
Through floods, pandemics and more -- you have always supported the bar and the folks behind it. Thank you.
It isn’t goodbye for good, but goodbye for now. While we work on next steps, know that you can still visit us at the newly opened @aptdisco upstairs every Friday and Saturday from 6 pm to 1 am.
If you have outstanding merch orders, they will be shipped by next week. Any questions can be directed. to hello@lostrivertiki.com”
