The Black Birch-- Think of us as a speakeasy

A lot of people ask us about signage. We don't have one hung yet. We are in a nondescript, one story government building (it was built in the 60's as a Post Office). We would love to hang our sign, we love the sign we commissioned Spotlight Woodworks to craft for us. We are having The Green Foundry build a pedestal and frame for the massive piece of red oak. And we are working to ensure that we get approval from the town of Kittery for the sign.


In the interim, I have come to accept that we are a hole-in-the-wall, a hard to find gem in Kittery, ME. At some point Gavin and I had joked about the resurgence of speakeasy-style bars in metropolitan areas. We certainly haven't been trying to be trendy... we just didn't exercise the best planning with regard to our business' facade. We will get the sign hung, and we are confident it will be a beautiful marriage of some very talented local artists and laborers. For now, we are poorly marked, have terrible visibility, but believe that for the people fortunate and patient enough to have found us, we offer something unique, wonderful, and comfortable. Thank you,

Ben
