About

Sign Bar is a completely immersive bar experience located in east Austin. What started as a passion project of collecting deserted yet legendary bar and restaurant signs evolved into a desire to preserve the history of an Austin forgotten. In collaboration with local artists, sign makers, interior designers and fabricators, we created a concept not only unique to Austin and Texas but the country as a whole which memorializes our beautifully weird city's foundational roots.

I’m originally from Detroit but made my way to Austin a few years ago after spending a decade in Boston. I’m not a native, but I’ve developed a real love for the city. I especially enjoy chatting with locals about their memories of old Austin institutions and learning the stories behind the signs that make up Sign Bar. When I’m not slinging drinks or learning about neon signs, I’m probably lacing up my skates. I’ve been playing hockey my whole life and still hit the ice just for fun. It’s my favorite way to stay active and spend time with friends.
