Farmers Union Pour House is Up and Running

Farmers Union Pour House opened last Friday night. We are so proud of Colin and Lauren for all their hard work and their vision to make this a reality.  Our daughter and son in law came down from the bay area to help them for the weekend thankfully. We stopped by on Friday and Saturday night and had a great time ourselves visiting and trying the offerings. I am really happy with how the decor turned out .  Here is the finished product before the crowds.

The fabulous bottle wall designed and engineered by Colin
Here is one of the original clockfaces graciously loaned by the historical society, that once graced the original building.
Colin made the Drink Sign and the old beams originally graced the building.

The beautiful banquette by Fred (of Ace Upholstery) and the french cusion by Yvonne of Soft Accents.

Farmers Union Pillow created by Next Door to Heaven on Etsy here

 Photos of the original building and Oldtown Salinas from the archives of the Monterey County Historical Society.

And last but not least the wonderful artwork by Willaim (Age 2) that adds some pizazz to the hallway. 

Here are some shots taken by family and friends after the crowds rolled in.  Thank you Salinas for your support!! That is Colin chatting with the customers.

The bathrooms are fun (I can’t get good pics).  You will have to visit and check them out. They have 24 craft beers  and 8  wines on tap (plus many more in the bottle). if you would like to know what they have any given day follow them on @taphunter app. Or you can follow them on Facebook here, or Instagram here

If you want to read more about how all of this came to fruition you can read my posts here  , here , and here


 I promise I won’t post about it any more unless there is a special event (stay tuned).  Have a great week!

    Cindy your son certainly is a chip off the old block. You are all so talented! The finished product is wonderful. Love all the great touches like the specially made pillows from Etsy, what a great find! I love the archival photographs too, who knew you could get things like that from the county? I look forward to visiting to see it all in person and wish him great success. It seems like he's off to a great start.
