NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — One small business in Nashville is looking to expand. Killjoy is a non-alcoholic bottle shop and is working to open a bar without the booze.
"People really do think of Nashville as a drinking town, but the people who live here there's a wide variety of people and a lot of them are sober curious," Killjoy owner Stephanie Styll said.
It is in partnership with The Loading Dock Cafe, which is moving locations. Juan Vega-Romero is the owner.
"He's been working in hospitality and restaurant management for 25 years and was the area supervisor of a local chain before opening The Loading Dock Coffee Shop in 2018. He'll bring all of his food and beverage expertise to make sure that Killjoy Bar is a huge success," a gofundme created by Stephanie said.
In order for the bar to happen, the location they've found needs to be built out.
"After more than a year of chatting with Killjoy customers, it's become clear that Nashville needs a dedicated community space for booze-free fun, and we've found the perfect location! We're asking for your support to help us build out a charming late night bar and café," the gofundme said
Stephanie's goal is to raise $100,000. You can learn more about Killjoy on their website.
A mother’s love. Nathalie Porter epitomizes the deep love mothers have for their children. And she bravely speaks out to confront stereotypes and bring awareness in the face of tragedy. I appreciated Amanda Roberts' compassionate reporting of a heartbreaking situation.
