We’ve gained a lot of followers this year.

Which is exciting.

But it also means many of you are operating on White Rabbit information from 6 months ago, which in White Rabbit years is approximately three complete business models and two mild identity crises ago.

So we wanted to take a minute to catch everyone up.

Please pay attention. There will not be a quiz.

Actually there might be.

First:

✅ We now allow guests under 21 before 9 PM.

We know. Some of you are just learning this now.

We’ve only been talking about it for months.

✅ We extended our hours.

✅ We open at noon on Saturdays.

Because apparently some of you are productive before 5 PM.

✅ Happy Hour is Tuesday-Friday from 4-6 PM.

Half-price beer.

Half-price wine.

Half-price appetizers.

Half-price select cocktail pitchers.

Basically the closest thing to legal robbery we could come up with.

✅ Someone stole our hours sign.

We’re still not sure why.

Of all the things to steal from a bar, the sign explaining when we’re open feels like a strange choice.

✅ We bought a new one.

The circle of life.

✅ Mildred is still a menace.

No further questions at this time.

✅ We added a grill.

Which means burgers.

Chicken sandwiches.

And a growing number of people discovering we serve food.

✅ Our wings are still elite.

Try the Truffle Buffalo.

I don’t know how else to say this.

Trust.

The.

Process.

✅ We added online ordering and carryout.

Because sometimes pants are optional.

✅ The community voted on a mural.

It’s finished.

✅ The patio has been completely reimagined.

If you haven’t seen it lately, you’re basically missing an entire expansion pack.

✅ Tuesday Craft Nights have become absolute chaos.

The good kind.

The “we should probably buy more supplies” kind.

And because we clearly haven’t learned our lesson, here’s what’s next:

🍨 Seasonal boozy sorbet.

🌯 Weekly wrap specials.

🍹 Rotating specialty cocktail pitchers for Happy Hour.

At this point we’re just adding things to see if anyone stops us.

Anyway.

If you’ve visited recently, help spread the word.

If you haven’t visited recently, come see what we’ve been up to.

And if you’ve somehow made it to the end of this post, congratulations.

You now know more about The White Rabbit than some of our relatives.

Please share.

We’re counting on you.

And frankly, we’re too busy adding random new things to explain it all ourselves.

Would it be completely insane to sell candles that smell like cocktails?

Because we’re dangerously close to making it happen.

We’re considering launching a line of White Rabbit Lounge candles inspired by our drinks:

🥃 Hoosier Daddy — Bourbon & Peach

😺 Cheshire Cat — Blackberry & Lavender

☕ Down the Rabbit Hole — Coffee & Vanilla

❤️ Queen’s Garden — Strawberry & Juniper

Before I spend a questionable amount of money on wax, jars, labels, and what is rapidly becoming a candle empire…

Would you actually buy one?

More importantly…

Which one are you lighting first?

And if you have a cocktail or scent pairing we should add, drop it in the comments.

If enough people are interested, we’ll do a limited run.

If not, my house is about to smell incredible.

This week we’re featuring not one, but two reasons to ignore your better judgment and treat yourself.

First up, our weekly boozy sorbet: a refreshing vodka-based strawberry blueberry blend that’s basically summer in a cup.

And because balance is important, we’re also rolling out our new Crispy or Grilled Chicken Wrap. Fresh, flavorful, and perfect for those moments when you tell yourself you’re going to order something lighter before adding a cocktail.

Both are available this week only, so don’t wait too long. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

We’ve been bullied. Shellacked. Beaten into submission.

For years we put up a good fight. We stood our ground. We refused to give in.

But you finally broke us.

After countless requests, questions, hints, suggestions, demands, and what some lawyers might describe as harassment, The White Rabbit is finally getting merch.

That’s right.

T-shirts and hats are coming next month.

Supplies will be limited because we remain deeply committed to our business model of assuming nobody wants the things they keep asking us for.

If I don’t have a dusty shelf full of unsold merch six months from now, we may even order more.

Stay tuned for photo reveal drops, preorder information, and opportunities to win some White Rabbit gear for free.

We’re not saying we’re excited.

We’re just saying we already cleared a shelf for the boxes.

A lot of people ask me, “Nick, why The White Rabbit?”

And that always leads to a story.

So let me tell it.

The White Rabbit wasn’t originally my idea. My sister and brother-in-law were the original owners. The White Rabbit was supposed to be Phase Two of a larger vision that started with the Hassmer House. Phase Three was going to be a boozy ice cream shop located where Vanity Beauty Collective sits today.

But somewhere along the way, they realized there was something missing that business ownership couldn’t give them back.

Time.

Time with their six young kids. Time with family. Time to watch life happen. Their oldest had just joined the Air Force, and they realized they didn’t want to miss any more moments.

At the time, I was living in Cincinnati, working my way up through the restaurant industry. I’d spent years as a server and bartender before moving into management. They convinced me to come down and help fix a struggling business.

Within a week, they offered to sell it to me.

Two months later, I bought it.

The business was only five months old.

The truth is, we weren’t immediately successful. In fact, I made a lot more money managing other people’s bars than I did owning my own. There were plenty of days when the easier choice would have been to walk away.

But I stayed.

Because I believed in the foundation this business was built on. I believed small towns deserve something more. I believed people deserve a place to gather, celebrate, create memories, and feel like they belong.

Fast forward to today.

We’re approaching our third anniversary, and we’re having the best year we’ve ever had.

So, to answer the question, “Why The White Rabbit?”

Because much like many of you, I fell down the rabbit hole, found Wonderland, and decided I didn’t want to leave.

We’d like to take a moment to celebrate the new owners of Bel-Acre Drive-In.

We’ve had a chance to meet them a few times and they are fantastic down to earth human beings.

It would be easy to look at an old drive-in theater and see a relic of the past. Instead, they saw potential. They saw something worth preserving.

They’re pouring their time, energy, and souls into keeping a classic American tradition alive while adding modern amenities that will help it thrive for future generations. That’s not easy work, and it deserves recognition.

What excites us most is the vision. The plans for campgrounds and other additions have the potential to turn Bel-Acre into more than a movie theater. It could become a destination experience.

To us, that’s what Versailles is all about.

Young entrepreneurs chasing big dreams. Taking risks. Investing in their community. Building things they believe in and inviting the rest of us along for the ride.

We’re excited to watch Bel-Acre grow, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

Give them a follow, buy a ticket, and support the people working hard to make something special happen right here at home.

Our hearts are full.

A year ago, we genuinely thought The White Rabbit might not make it.

Like a lot of small businesses, we were fighting every day just to survive. We were working long hours, taking risks, second guessing decisions, and wondering if we had enough left in the tank to keep going.

Fast forward to today, and we’re sitting here looking at numbers we never thought we’d see.

This year we’ve broken our single-day sales record twice. Last month was the biggest month in our history. Last week was the biggest week we’ve ever had.

And honestly, we’re still trying to process it.

Not because of what the numbers mean financially, but because of what they represent. Every record broken is another reminder that people chose us. They chose to have dinner here. They chose to bring friends here. They chose to tell others about us. They chose to support a little rabbit hole in a small Indiana town.

Most businesses have customers.

We have supporters.

We’ve always said that this place was about more than food and drinks. It was about building something special in our community. We poured our hearts into that mission, and somehow this community gave it back tenfold.

Thank you for every visit, every share, every recommendation, every event attended, and every person you’ve sent our way.

The White Rabbit Lounge exists because of you.

And for the first time in a long time, we’re not wondering if we’ll make it.

We’re wondering just how far down the rabbit hole we can go.
