Sweet Boy's Neighborhood Bar now open
As a cocktail dive housing a hidden arcade and secret sandwich shop, Sweet Boy's Neighborhood Bar represents the culmination of every Good Spirits & Co. concept to date.
"It's kind of a hybrid of everything we've ever worked on before," says Rogan Howitt, who co-owns the new bar with Good Spirits & Co. business manager Joshua Widner and Fried Design Co. owner Josh Sullivan. "It's been a good melting pot of all the things that we've always wanted to do, but never really fit certain models that we've already had," Widner adds.
Widner is also the business manager and owner of landmark Springfield businesses under the Good Spirits umbrella, including Best of Luck Beer Hall, Golden Girl Rum Club and Cherry Picker Package x Fare. The company used the COVID-19 shutdown as a chance to remodel and rebrand the bar at 310 South Avenue from Scotch & Soda to Sweet Boy's.
