Help "Chew The Fat" complete their build up!

After three years of scouting for a location we came across this gem in 2019. We began the process of getting permits, applying for a liquor license and doing major renovations. 
Early in the year we were on the right track for the grand opening of Chew the Fat Bar, Lounge and Grill. It's located in Jamaica, Queens, and will be the only black-owned restaurant and bar in the area. In the midst of getting closer to our grand opening we weren't prepared for the worst possible outcome. Devastatingly, COVID-19 hit and, like many businesses, disrupted our plans and has us facing financial loss and hardship. We also had to put a halt to renovations due to our general contractor walking out on the job. It has been a financial burden trying to make up for the time lost but through it all we choose to persevere through all the hardships. With that being said we need your help to ensure that our dream becomes a reality, and our hard work doesn't go to waste. In these troubling times, we need a neighborhood spot of our own, a place where we can come together and socialize with great drinks and food, you know, Chew the Fat!

With humility and gratitude, we ask that you help us reach our goal! Any donation you find in your heart to give will go towards helping us complete the renovations. Thank you for taking the time to support us. If you know of someone else who would like to support Black-owned businesses and business owners, please share this link!
