Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Alisha Hopkins and Dan Allen.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Alisha and Dan. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
We used to own a bar/restaurant in Cave Creek, AZ. We always wanted to own a sports grill that incorporated a fun sense of humor… that’s why we are called The Gym Sports Bar! We really wanted an atmosphere to portray our love for sports and a fun atmosphere.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s been a little struggle because we lost our old place due to a fire and becoming familiar with the neighborhood. We are loving the neighborhood and most have been very welcoming.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about The Gym Sports Bar – what should we know?
We are a sports bar & grill with a full menu. We wanted to add variety to our menu. We have vegan and vegetarian options that have been very well received. We also have breakfast all day.

Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
I think it takes a lot of perseverance. It’s a very up and down industry and you have to keep being positive and looking for new things to be successful.

Pricing:

$2 domestic bottles every day
