There's only room for 15 guests at this tiny Brunswick East bar
Previous SlideNext Slide Contemporary$$$$ There's nothing tricky about the name of Tiny. It squeezes 15 people along two walls, has a kitchen pass that doubles as a high-table, and serves a tight menu from a studio apartment-sized cooking set-up. It helps that couple Zac Shearer (The Lincoln, French Saloon) and Jamila Fontana live three minutes' walk away, allowing mid-service dashes home to get more ice or beer. Tomato tarte tatin on house-made puff is finished with a red-wine burnt caramel, smoked quail egg with potato foam and beluga caviar makes an elegant snack, and abalone is tossed through a bold seaweed butter. Josh Fry, the opening chef for Rocco's Bologna Discoteca and Poodle, helped write the menu. Seven cocktails, 10 wines and three no-frills beers (including VB longnecks) get the job done, drinks-wise.

A Tower District bar known for $5 cocktails is expanding to Old Town Clovis
A popular Tower District restaurant and bar is expanding to Old Town Clovis. The Lincoln Pub & Grub will open a location on Clovis Avenue, between Fourth and Fifth Street, a few doors down from The Local. The Lincoln, known for $5 cocktails and low-priced appetizers, opened on Olive Avenue in 2019. The Tower District location will remain open. President Abraham Lincoln is on the $5 bill, hence the name. The Lincoln Clovis is aiming to open in early or mid June. It will take over the space that was until recently occupied by Neighbors Old Town Clovis, at 401 Clovis Ave., suite 106. That location closed about two weeks ago. Neighbors Tap & Cook House at Fowler and Nees avenues will remain open. No one at Neighbors could be reached to comment on why the Clovis Avenue location closed. But its lease was expiring and the owners wanted to downsize, said Jeff Davis of Davis Commercial Real Estate. He's the manager of the property and a leasing agent who was involved in finding a new tenant for the space. 'It's not that they weren't successful there; it's just that they had their hands full,' he said. 'The other location is fine. It's going well.' When the space became available, Davis said his first call was to The Lincoln, whose owners jumped at the opportunity. Neighbors sold their assets to The Lincoln, he said. Much of The Lincoln's menu — though not all — costs $5. That includes the best-selling mango margarita with a Tajín rim and Buffalo chicken fries with blue cheese and Buffalo sauce. The menu also includes drinks in the $7 to $9 range, and beer and wine. Full meals can cost up to $14 or $15. Owners Aaron Gossett and Andrew Karsh say the model works because they sell a lot at low prices. They also don't waste anything, using many of the same ingredients in multiple dishes. 'I think our pricing model has allowed us to stay competitive in the market,' Gossett said. 'It doesn't really work if you don't have volume.' The Clovis Avenue location felt like a good fit for The Lincoln's concept because of the other bars and restaurants nearby, Gossett said. People are likely to walk around and hit up several places, perhaps getting a drink at The Lincoln before or after visiting another bar, or going out dancing. The Lincoln will also sell food late into the evening, filling an untapped need of serving food past 10 p.m., he said. 'We feel like the Old Town Clovis location is the closest mirror image of what we already do in Tower.'

Edge Fest moves indoors this April, piloting program with crowd favorite Raffoul brothers
CHEYENNE — After 10 years of free concerts, Dave Teubner, Edge Fest founder and owner of Warehouse 21, announced last March that the summer of 2024 would be the final year for the annual event in Civic Commons Park. This decision was made due to it being 'too expensive to maintain' and taking up 'too much time and too many resources' from the community and local businesses who were helping raise the money, he said. 'As it grew, the burden got larger, and that's why we sunsetted it,' Teubner told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle. Warehouse 21 would raise more than $150,000 in cash for staging, lighting, sound and paying the artists. This amount doesn't include the money they needed for the food and drink carts at the event as well as paying for the Warehouse's labor. On Tuesday, Edge Fest announced that they're going back to their roots from before they moved the festival outdoors, and piloting a ticketed event called Edge Fest Indoors, starting with 'A Night with the Raffouls' on April 10 at The Lincoln. The Raffoul brothers, Billy and Peter, have played at Edge Fest in 2019 and 2024, respectively. Both of them will perform 45-minute sets and then an encore with five songs together. Teubner told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle how he and the team at Warehouse 21 have been exploring the idea of moving Edge Fest indoors for over a year and 'kind of crashed into' the event coming in April. He saw that the Raffoul brothers were playing together, knew they were crowd favorites in the capital city, and reached out to them to see if they would play in Cheyenne. Once they secured the Raffouls, Teubner reached out to The Lincoln, and Edge Fest Indoors was underway. 'We knew we wanted to continue exploring and finding ways to contribute to the arts and music scene, so our thought was to try and partner with The Lincoln and do a test-run to see if we can cover our expenses from a ticketed show and see if it's feasible,' said Teubner. 'Part of the experience for us wasn't just the music, but a digital art form (with) the lights and the digital experience, so we're passionate about that.' If the pilot with the Raffoul Brothers is well received, Teubner said that they may make Edge Fest Indoors a once or twice a year event, whether they bring back more Edge Fest crowd favorites or new artists. Teubner also told the WTE that Edge Fest Indoors will likely follow suit with how their brand was 'set' when it comes to the different vibe, bands and types of music they were chasing when thinking of acts to bring to the outdoor event. He explained that they were always trying to fit a niche that Cheyenne didn't have before, and will continue to do so if the event continues. A post on the Edge Fest Instagram account said that whatever money they have left after expenses for Edge Fest Indoors will go to supporting local artists and the arts scene through the Big 8 Foundation, the nonprofit organization that started Edge Fest in 2014. Some things that Warehouse 21 and the Edge Fest team will be exploring are music scholarships for the youth, studio time for artists, future shows to feed the fund, photography projects, donations back to music and arts organizations and infrastructure projects that support downtown. They're calling it 'concerts with a purpose.' 'Giving money versus asking for money is of interest to us,' said Teubner. 'I think our fans are so great, we're just really grateful for the people that have donated, volunteered and showed up for Edge Fest. … It's a ticketed show, but it goes back to other good things and we're grateful for the support.'
