The Story Behind The Institute

Get ready to celebrate! On June 20, 2008, The Institute opened its doors with untapped lines and a half-finished ceiling. No kitchen? No problem! Fast forward 10 years of hilarious mishaps and an epic love/hate saga, and our corner bar became a beloved hub for locals and concert-goers alike. And Franklin, our mischievous orange cat? He’s living it up in Philly with a lifelong friend.

Check out our latest adventure, The Samuel S. Gritz Public House, at 629 N. 2nd Street in Queen Village!
