Little Dipper now has a street patio.
On Thursday, the Organized Kollaboration on Restaurant Affairs (O.K.R.A.) announced that its O.K.R.A. Charity Saloon, which donated its profits to local charities ($1.3 million over eight years) will cease to be.
But also in the announcement O.K.R.A. revealed that the bar space has been transferred into the care of longtime saloon general manager Mary Ellen Angel, who purchased it from O.K.R.A. for $10. Angel plans to operate her own bar in the space, keeping the spirit of the saloon alive by donating a portion of the profits to charities.
