HEADS UP!

We will be closing early next Friday for 4th of July, so this is our LAST Friday night as Upside Pub! Come see this beauty for her final Friday night shift (but not her final shift!). We’ll be here ready to agree with you about how sad we all are.

The time has come! Upside has had the incredible Skoo Ball table on loan from bartender Matty for 2 years, but as Upside closes, Matty is ready to part ways with this awesome unique game. If you are the lucky new owner, Matty will completely refurbish the game at your house. All broken parts fixed, all bad wood replaced.

We will have an auction this Saturday at 4:30pm. Here’s how it will work:

- At about 4:30pm you can either be at Upside or on Instagram. I will post on our stories and announce in house when the auction is live.
- People in house or on insta will have 5 minutes to give us your opening offer via DM or piece of paper.
- After initial offers are in, everyone will be informed of the highest bid and will have 5 minutes to put in another bid.
- After this round, only the top 3 bidders will be informed of the highest bid and will have one more 5 minute period to put in one more bid.
- the winner of that bid will win the Skoo Ball. If 2 bidders put in the same final bid at the highest amount, we will go one more round of bidding just for those 2 people.
- the bidding will start at $500

Don’t want Skoo Ball to go to auction at all? You can be the lucky winner TODAY for $1500. This includes full refurbishment, delivery and a big ole’ hug from Matty. If interested, please DM Upside.

Okay! We hope to see/hear from you Saturday (or before!) for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
