🤠 Farewell Sale Info! 🤠

We’re so grateful to have help us say good-bye down at . They’ve held our hands while we sort through our feelings and cool stuff, organized and spruced it up and we’re just about ready to show it to y’all. Come grab a treasure from the h***y tonk and support us one last time for the in-person tag sale here at 2352 S. West St.

Duke’s will have our bar open sellin’ sippables and our remaining merch- more on what’s left Thursday!

Our social media profiles as well as Flipside’s have links to more details so if you ask what’s in the sale or what’s being done with X item- we probably won’t answer as we’re doing some heavy lifting here still. We promise the links have plenty of info!

We’ll see ya with a hot pot of coffee at 9AM on Friday. Thanks again for everything. Nothing about this has been easy, but there’s been a whole lot of love and we’re overwhelmed with gratitude. 🤠🙏🏼❤️

A love letter to Duke’s one week after we said good-bye,

It has been my honor, my heart ache and at times my headache to be your HBIC at Duke’s. For the past nearly four years, I’ve adopted Dustin’s dream as my own, investing countless hours with an incredible team curating and crafting an experience that blows people away while highlighting what brings us all together: the music. To some we’re just fried chicken, to some just the old Ice House, but to most - a place they feel valued and able to step outside the hustled pace of life, abandon the technology that fetters us all and join a truly magical music community. Duke’s has been more than just a venue, it’s been a home. In less than a decade we’ve amassed a lifetime of memories, laughter and unimaginable grief. I am grateful for every single moment, every misstep and lesson learned, and for the consistent support, encouragement and love from both artists, fans and h***y tonk family. There will never be another place like this.
We must remember that the road doesn’t end here. We all now know what community and solace feel like. This is something we can carry into all aspects of life. When we come together again down the line in whatever rooms we gather, we’ll be reminded of the persistent spirit that never dies. In that way, we live forever, spreading the joy, the magic, the tears, the stories, the songs and the tragedy and triumph of life. We have all become Duke’s.

Thank you for being a part of the magic. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Duke’s forever.

Love,
Amanda Scott
Your HBIC ❤️🙏🏼
