As alluded to, Chance Rabbit is not directly tied to ForeLand brewing and will have an independent identity. The tiny pubs curious name \u201cChance Rabbit\u201d comes from the 1949 novel Earth Abides<\/em> by author George R. Steward. <\/p>\n\u201cIt’s a throwaway line from the protagonist while out walking with his newly adopted dog that might run across a “chance rabbit.” It has stuck with me and I feel it embodies how I view finding the spot. Plus lately we have a lot of neighborhood rabbits and everynight my dog, Woody Harrelson, is hoping to run across a chance rabbit or two,\u201d explains Sanguinetti.<\/p>\n
Chance Rabbit\u2019s focus will be on careful curation and a focused approach to an intimate neighborhood hangout and not trying to be something for everyone. The idea is to be a cozy hangout, an aperitivo or digestiv if you will for the busy southeast Division strip packed with popular restaurants and busy bars. The space has no space – for a kitchen or a full large bar, it will be a cozy environment for thoughtful sips of amaro and vermouth, 6 beers on tap, 3-4 wines from a faucet, and roughly 3 ciders, a seltzer, and a local curation of bottles available to crack open or take to-go. The idea will be to add a small cocktail menu eventually.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe vibe is going to be very neighborhood friendly with a bit of a confident attitude that is all in good fun. We’re going\u00a0to try like hell to offer the best we can while looking completely relaxed. The idea is to put all the hard work in beforehand so everyone just thinks we’re a great hang but if someone new comes in they’ll be impressed by what we offer and hopefully also completely comfortable,\u201d says Sanguinetti.<\/p>\n
Work on the exterior and interior of the upcoming Chance Rabbit bar has been underway for about a month now. Passers by have noticed the walls of the beer garden rising up around the triangular patch of land. Fencing and delicate interior woodwork and build out is being done by ex-The Beermongers bartender Russell Wood with some of the painstaking design features and artwork still under wraps.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s also really important to me that we’re a good neighbor not only to the people in the neighborhood but also to our fellow businesses. We’re so lucky to have so many amazing bars, restaurants, and retail shops within a stone’s throw,\u201d says Sanguinetti.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
