We hope you had an amazing weekend and are enjoying this cooler weather!
Some of you will read the subject line one way, and some will read it another.
Are you the one reading it as relaxed anticipation of "Ahhhh.....finally we are into the fall."?
Or, are you one reading it as "AHHHHHHHHHHHH.....NO. I can't believe October is here already!"?
We are looking at it both ways. We can't believe it's October as it came way too fast. But on the other hand, it's patio weather. It's festival season, and Denton is officially Halloween City of Texas! We have Jazz Fest, Industrial Street Pop Fest, Day of the Dead Fest, and there are likely other events we are not including.
October tends to be our second busiest month of the year next to December with the help of all the festivals happening, and much nicer weather to enjoy on the patio here in Downtown Denton.
We hope you will use Steve's Wine Bar as your base of operations when visiting Downtown for any, and all festivals and activities. With wine and beer to go, specials with a Halloween them, and just great tasting beverages, we hope you will make us your first stop before wandering around Denton. And YES, you can walk with a beer or a glass of wine in your hand while you enjoy the sights and sounds of Downtown Denton.
I mentioned in the last email that the roads around us are no longer blocked off due to construction. When you come down to Steve's, parking will be a little easier without the barriers. We suggest that if you can't find parking right in front or back of the wine bar, park at the church lot half a block away. It's super convenient and as long as you have your car out of the lot by midnight, everything should be fine.
So let's talk about the start of the next season here at Steve's.
Tonight at 7:00, we have another amazing guest vocalist, with Alyssa Allgood visiting from Chicago. If you attended our special "concert" back in February with Nicole Zuraitis, we think you will have a similar experience tonight. We still have a few reserved seats at $15, but when they are sold out, the cover charge tonight will be $20. So jump online ASAP before the reserved seats are sold out.
Tomorrow night, we have Shelly Denning in-house doing a special arts and crafts program 6:30 to 8:30.
Wednesday evening we have a new talent to Steve's Wine Bar with Alexandra Tayara hosting a solo show.
Saturday afternoon at a special time, 5 pm, we have another solo act with Júlia Coelho with a very special musical program on vocals, gothic harp, loop pedal, and psaltery. $10 reservations are still available.
Sunday is Birthday Sunday from 5 - 7 pm. Did you or a family member have a birthday this month? Come on down and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine or beer for the birthday person, and light snacks and sweets to enjoy with your beverages. Please reserve your spots as it will help us plan on the right amount of food to have for everyone.
Monday night is another special concert with Award Winning Saxophonist, Jack Lanhardt.
Tuesday is the first day of October, and it's the kick-off of Halloween here in Downtown Denton. We have a special evening planned with Lady Cass and the Fellas. Join us as we start the fun for October with some fun and "spooky" music with Cassandra Berry.
With all the events happening in Denton, rather than compete with them, we are keeping our event schedule on the lighter side for the month of October.
Every Thursday in October there will be live music right across the street from us in the park with the return of Twilight Tunes. Industrial Street will be closed on Thursday nights and we will be putting tables and chairs out front for our customers to sit and enjoy the music. Every Thursday is our Half-Price bottles, so come on down and take advantage of that along with any of the specials we will have for October.
Monday the 7th we will have the Brad Leali Tentet back for another amazing night of music.
Saturday the 19th we will have The Cats back for another special concert.
Stay tuned as we sprinkle in more solo performances and special afternoon experiences for you to enjoy.
Reserve your seats online at RESERVATIONS.
People have been asking about Cigars. We had neglected to renew our Permit on time and are now waiting for the updated Permit to be delivered. As soon as that is done, we will move our Humidor back out to the main space and be ready to support your cigar needs when visiting Steve's.
Steve and Karen will be away from the bar for most of October. The staff here at Steve's look forward to serving you, your friends, and your family while they are away. They have put a lot of trust in the team to keep the business rolling, and we hope you will be here to support the team. With your help, we can continue to make October the second busiest month of the year here at Steve's.
Have a great week and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Cheers! From all of us here at Steve's Wine Bar.
