REVIEW: GOLDEN GIRL RUM CLUB
Four young movers and shakers team up to create a rum bar that is making waves in downtown Springfield and beyond.
When you walk into Golden Girl Rum Club, a tiki bar located on the Springfield square, a graphic, stylized black pineapple set against a white wall greets you. Designed by Rogan Howitt, one of the four owners, this pineapple is a synecdoche for the bar and restaurant. It’s fun and playful. It looks effortless, though in reality, a lot of time and careful thought went into creating it. And the pineapple just so happens to be the international symbol for hospitality.
