Eight weeks in. Still recovering.
At 2am on Sunday 28th June, we closed the doors on Blind Tiger.
By late morning, we were back inside ripping the place apart. Sensible Sunday plans.
After two weeks of building work on the ceiling, we had roughly four weeks to turn what was left into Bark + Bite. While also running a pop-up at @catspjscoffee
Because apparently we didn't have enough to do.
And when we say we built this place, we really mean it.
Our landlords helped with the demolition. Mum volunteered for upholstery duties. My cousin joined the final push. Our electrician of over ten years even roped his son into the late nights.
There were plenty of 2am and 3am finishes, a delayed opening, and probably more sawdust than anyone should reasonably inhale.
Eight weeks later, we're open, the dust has settled (mostly), and we're absolutely exhausted.
But we built ourselves a living room. And now you're all making yourselves at home.
Worth every late night.
All bark. All bite.
