Another thursday is here!
Lets talk Small Bar? Yup!!

Bridgeland's beloved corner spot, formerly home to Cannibale, has been completely transformed into Small Bar.
This is not a simple rebrand but a thoughtful reimagining by owners Shayne Perrin and Mike Hope, who listened to locals' desires for a true neighborhood hub.
The once-niche cocktail bar and attached barbershop is now an open, laid-back room with a warm and inviting energy.
The new focus is on elevated pub classics, expertly crafted by Executive Chef Kevin Turner.
