“ We are still battling the issue of locals not wanting to come downtown for a variety of reasons: for COVID, because of the protests that happened, people don’t feel safe, because of the weather. “We really rely on tourism and business travel foot traffic, and because we’re not a neighborhood bar, we don’t have those nightly 15-75 people that will pass through,” she said. While it’s not uncommon for winter to be slow at The Limbo, Griffin told LEO that niche downtown venues like hers suffer more than other bars. Recently, Griffin made a public post on Facebook saying The Limbo was at its lowest point financially ever due to snowstorms, a lack of activity downtown and insurance premiums.

This, she said, will appeal to the people The Limbo attracts: as she described them (lovingly), “dark, quirky, queer weirdos.” There’ll also be a Tim Burton-themed pop-up in October and November to carry the bar from Halloween into Christmas. Olivia Griffin, who owns The Limbo and its next-door neighbor Riot Cafe, told LEO that Christmas Vacation will return this December.
