Designed to bring a nostalgic yet fresh experience to the area, Neon Spur combines the laid-back vibe of the 1970s with a retro cowboy aesthetic to bring to life its unique take on a classic dive bar. The venue boasts an indoor space and outdoor trailer bar, complete with vintage furniture, western-inspired decor and buzzing neon signs among other distinctive elements.

In addition to the casual yet lively atmosphere, guests can expect a selection of cold cans and stiff drinks. The food menu will feature recognizable American comfort food, curated by Clive Collective’s Director of Culinary Operations and partner, celebrity chef Beau MacMillan. 

“Neon Spur is designed to stand out amongst the local bar scene,” said Mikis Troyan, Clive Collective co-founder and managing partner. “While developing the concept, we focused on creating a fun, unforgettable experience where every detail, from the atmosphere to the drinks to the vibe, sparks something fresh and exciting. The intention is to foster a lively, hospitable space where locals and visitors come together to socialize and enjoy cold cans, stiff drinks and good backyard grub.”
