River City Volleybar

This grilling image is from the summer of 2006. In 2008 the full kitchen will be open....

As I explained to the volleyball clientele in a mass e-mail last week, there will be changes this year at River City. The bar is back. But I will be splitting profits with the bar so that I can put money to improvements such as new sand for new courts. 3 truckloads of sand for the current 3 courts is due to arrive Wednesday morning.

This bar, River City Bar & Grill, has a much better attitude toward the volleyball crowd. They want this to be "our" bar. We want bartenders and servers from the league firstly. If you are in a band, and in the league, we want your band to play at River City (Incidently, it's confirmed as of today that Rosemary Gates will play outside by the beach courts for a charity tourney for the Save Maumee Organization, the "River Goddess Festival" on August 9th). I want players with businesses to put up advertising banners at the courts. First year is free, $75 after...

We will be selling beer in the volleyball shack. 5 for $9. $2.25 for individual domestics. On Thursday nights there will be $1 tacos, and for $6.95 you can get a sirloin steak, a baked potato, with a veggie and a salad. More ideas to follow...

Plans for the future include putting a deck on the roof with stairs leading up to the surprising upstairs bar. If you haven't seen the upstairs bar come out to the River City Bar & Grill Grand Opening on May 10th. Plans also include putting in 2 or 3 more courts that mirror the current courts... with perhaps, a stage staring opposite the upstairs deck. And then perhaps, next year, lighting for the new courts.

Current leagues are filling up so I know we can support the new courts Monday through Thursdays. (Current teams signed up for beach leagues click here). Concerts, open play and tournaments are a plan for Fridays and Saturdays. See the tournament schedule for this year so far here.
