Empty Bottle Staff Relief

Unprecedented times demand unprecedented decisions, including the difficult one we’ve made today. In hopes of supporting the health and safety of our incredible patrons, tireless staff, gifted artists, and first-class city, Empty Bottle and Bite Café have closed their doors indefinitely.

Along with the health risks that COVID-19 poses, we also recognize the financial hardship the pandemic has caused. To that end, we implore you to show solidarity with Bottle and Bite staffers via this campaign, in which we'll be offering some special items in exchange for your donation. (PLEASE email [email redacted] with your gift preference.)
