Before I ever stepped behind the bar at Spanish Marie, I was just a customer — a journalist out of work, trying to pay my rent while still chasing my dream of telling stories 🎥 My girl Geraldine gave me a chance when I needed it most, even though I’d never poured a drink for anyone but myself 🍻 Since then, working a shift at Spanish Marie has never really felt like ‘work.’ It’s felt like catching up with friends — singing karaoke, swapping stories, and watching strangers become regulars and regulars become friends 💛 Spanish Marie has always been that safe, weird little corner of the world where everyone’s welcome to pull up a stool, hang out, and feel at home for a while 🏡 Right now, the bar is going through it and could really use a little extra love to help keep the doors open ❤️‍🩹 Here’s a little something I put together — just the familiar sounds of opening up the place that’s given so many of us a place to belong ✨ If you’ve ever had a good night here, or just want to help keep this community alive, please click the link in my bio to donate 💵 #spanishmarie #spanishmariebrewery #savespanishmarie #neighborhoodbarber #localbar #miamibars #miamibrewery #reels
