Save the Silver Peso!

Please help save the Peso!
Family, Friends, Neighbors:
Larkspur, CA Silver Peso has been a bar in Larkspur since the 1930s.
The Peso was named by Thrillist as one of the top 21 dive bars in America.
According to the Marin History Museum, after World War II, a veteran purchased the bar "with silver pesos he recovered from Manila Bay after learning the Philippine government had sunk its bank reserves to prevent them from falling into Japanese hands".
The Peso's friendly vibe, mess of classic locals, reliably heavy pours and their well drinks are known far and wide.
The pandemic of 2020 was crushing for Rebel Lee, long-time bartender, and proprietor, to manage in addition to his health issues. In the spring of 2021, the Peso team & community decided to come together and help Mr. Lee reopen their Historic watering hole.
GOOD NEWS!
The Peso is gearing up to try and re-open mid-April w/ outdoor seating, limited indoor seating, and a few other tweaks to how we used to do things given the current climate we're all living in... A beer garden is in the works and the Peso needs a little more help to be able to open its doors.
Please share and donate if you can, stay safe and we hope to see you all very soon!
