Save the Brass House Austin

Gene and I decided to open Brass House while stationed in Afghanistan on our final deployment in 2012 with the Marines.  We spent 30 days living in the space and renovating on a shoe string budget. We opened with ten bottles on the shelf and $1,000 in the bank but quickly became a neighborhood favorite.  We expanded in just one year to the neighboring space adding a special events center and full restaurant.   The operating cost were a little more than we calculated and while we trippled our gross sales in just one year, we were hit hard by the slow Austin summer months.   We are located in the best spot in Austin surrounded by over a dozen hotels and the Austin convention center. Business will pick back up in September and we will see a net income by December if we can just make it through the next few months. 

 Unfortunately we are in danger of having to shut down due to a lack of operating capital.  We must raise $25,000 of the requested funds by July 31st or be evicted by our landlord.   

My prayer is that someone will step forward and help us keep this dream alive as we fight to save The Brass House.
