Howdy, friends and family of The BULL. I’m Jacob, and I’m asking for help to keep my business running and protect a place that means so much to me and to our community. After four difficult months of downtown construction and the Streatery renovation, The BULL’s monthly revenue fell by an average of 32%. A big part of that loss came from the temporary relocation of our weekly Gator Salsa event, which is one of our largest and most important gatherings. To keep our doors open and our staff working through that stretch, we had to take on significant debt.

 The BULL opened in 2011, and for nearly 12 years I’ve had the privilege of being its owner. Over that time, it has become so much more than a bar. It is a gathering place for live music, dancing, storytelling, conversation, community, and plenty of Gainesville weirdness. The support from this fundraiser will help us pay down the debt we built up during construction and give The BULL a more stable foundation as downtown activity returns. If The BULL has ever given you a great night, introduced you to a new friend, helped you discover a musician, or made Gainesville feel a little more like home, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Any support means the world to me and helps keep this community space alive.
