A big thank you to all the City of Bonita officials that made the time to come and enjoy our new space!
From each and every heartfelt conversation to the mind-blown reactions people have walking into this place, it has made the wait more than worth it.
The food was delicious. The live music (provided by another one of our longtime homies @romansamuelsmusic) was on point. And the weather was perfect.
Really couldn’t have asked for a better evening!
🎥: @jaycreatedthis
Night three is in the books!
We had the pleasure of hosting the initial investors of this project right here on the completed property (which is still wild to say).
These were friends and family who saw the community focused impact Sugarshack has been promoting for the past 10 years (almost 11 now!) and didn’t hesitate to financially step up to help make this dream a reality.
We couldn’t have done it without y’all!
P.S. Shout out to our long time homies in @theskeletens for providing an absolutely killer set on our beautiful stage.
Announcing GRAND OPENING here soon… 🤫⚡️
🎥: @jaycreatedthis
Night two was another hit!
Had the rest of the teams families here with live music from our long time homie @itsbrianblount.
Fun fact: Brian was one of the earliest sessions in Sugarshack’s history and now works on session audio team!
We’ve got our Sugarshack Downtown investors coming through tonight followed by a few more nights of soft openings, however we’ll be open to the public soon…
Keep your eyes on our socials and we’ll keep ya posted! 👀🫶

“WE DID IT!”
Last night we wrapped up night 1 of our initial soft openings here at Sugarshack Downtown and it was everything we hoped it would be.
We knew the only way to properly begin the process of getting our doors open was to celebrate with the people who have been the most supportive since day 1- our families.
We jammed. We ate. We laughed. And some of us (all of us) may have shed a few tears of joy and happiness.
Stay tuned, we got more updates coming your way soon… 👀🤘
🎥 @jaycreatedthis
A heartfelt thank you to @wink.news for featuring us on last night’s show! Our community has truly united through these acoustic guitar donations, and we’re honored to provide a space to share the powerful stories and memories these instruments hold.
If you have an acoustic instrument you’d like to see displayed, feel free to drop by anytime during the day to donate. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Yet again Bonita has completely blown us away. 🫠
