A Girl walked into a bar. No really, that’s it.

She watched, she listened, she wept, she laughed, she sipped on her beer and she promised herself that one day she would gather all the beautiful stories hidden in the cracks of the world, and bring them to the epicentre of Courage.

She also promised herself never ever (ever) again to order the Kale chips before bedtime

Chapter One:

A Girl walked into a bar. No really, that’s it.

She watched, she listened, she wept, she laughed, she sipped on her beer and she promised herself that one day she would gather all the beautiful stories hidden in the cracks of the world, and bring them to the epicentre of Courage. She also promised herself never ever (ever) again to order the Kale chips before bedtime.

About us

Just open the door.

Story Bar is a community platform dedicated to the different ones. The ones that seek out their humanness through extraordinary stories of truth, love, courage and purpose. Our stories. Your stories. Their stories. This is a homecoming for the tale tellers, the inspiration bringers, the poets and the vagabonds – that are brave enough to be reckless and reckless enough to be brave. Story Bar is everyone’s bar. We welcome the scars and the cuts of an unfiltered generation that learns from each other. Here, we speak. And we listen. And we share. And we love neon, because it’s completely kitsch. And the day is okay, they say. But the night is alive with a naked grit that sticks to brick (and he’s smoking a cigar while she’s fixing his drink) and life is an iambic pentameter that ‘shakes and peares’; and the words will land on the hearts of many, while the light is low and the tequila is strong. And anything goes, at the Story Bar.
