Hey y'all! Thanks to all our friends, family, regulars and patrons for all the support during these hard times. We can't wait to see you back at Hattie's Hat in your favorite stool or booth.
Unfortunately, as you might imagine, times have been tough for all of us at Hattie's Hat since we've had to limit operations to help battle the spread of the coronavirus. Due to the unique nature of the restaurant industry, a lot of our staff unfortunately doesn't qualify for unemployment protections and are really hurting due to this sudden loss of income. The really tough part is that we currently have no idea how long this is going to last; we're currently fully expecting to be closed through all of April, and it could be longer than that. There's also no guarantee we'll be able to open normally once it's safe enough for the ban to partially lift.
So that's why we're asking for your help right now! I'm sure one of our bartenders has made you a tasty drink, or one of our cooks has made you your favorite Hattie's breakfast or dinner.. These folks definitely need your immediate support, and please know that 100% of the net earnings of your donation will go directly to them to help them cover their basic living costs while we wait this thing out.
We've got some cool things to offer to sweeten the deal too!
$1, $10, $25, $50- You'll have our undying love and admiration, and we'll shout you out on social media for being a champ!
$75 - Hattie's Hat T-shirt, Baseball Cap, Trucker Hat, Fisherman Beanie or Tote Bag – While supplies last! We've got some pretty cool designs that you'll be stoked about. If you choose a T-shirt, let us know your shirt size and we'll communicate shipping/ fulfillment timelines with you. You will also be listed on our website with our thanks and gratitude.
$125 – Hattie's Hat $40 Gift Card and a Hattie's Hat T-Shirt - While supplies last! A gift card to make the perfect gift for those coming into town looking to unwind or for those nights when your looking to grab your favorite meal and drink after a hard day. Let us know your t-shirt size and we'll get you taken care of.
$250 - A full dinner and a round of drinks for a party of 4 at Hattie's Hat. Available anytime! Bring the family in to celebrate the reopening of a Ballard Institution!
$500- A full dinner and a round of drinks for a party of 8 at Hattie's Hat. Available anytime! Bring the family and friends in to celebrate the reopening of a Ballard Institution!
$1,000 – A private party in Hattie's backroom for you and up to 45 guests. Available on Weekday mornings and nights only. Food and Drinks not included. Come celebrate with your favorite people in your own private dinning area at Hattie's Hat. We will also include a DJ or Karaoke for your private party.
$6,000 - we'll host a private party for you and as many friends as you can fit into Hattie's Hat. We'll also include all of your food and drinks for you and your private party. We will throw in a DJ or Karaoke as well.
Again, 100% of the net earnings of this GoFundMe campaign will go to our hourly workers during these stressful times. We're working really hard behind the scenes to make sure Hattie's Hat itself will continue to exist (Don't touch that dial as we'll keep you up to date on help from that front), but right now the immediate need is your support to help the folks who make Hattie's Hat the bar you know and love. We want to thank everybody once again for keeping us going here in Seattle and helping us to deliver one of the best experiences that Ballard has to offer, and we can't wait to see all those happy faces once we've gotten through these tough times!
Thanks for all the love and remember to be safe!
