Foreign Investor to Reopen H&R Sports Bar in 2025

An anonymous foreign investor has confirmed plans to reopen the iconic H&R Sports Bar—known locally as “Da Butte”—by the end of 2025. The project, which includes restoring the bar’s renowned night club and bait shop, comes with a proposed budget of $117 million. While the announcement has generated excitement, some experts have expressed skepticism about the feasibility of the budget.

One insider close to the project commented, “The plan is sound in every aspect except for the budget. While $117 million may get us started, additional funding might be needed to see it through. That said, I’m confident the momentum is there, and this WILL happen.”

Adding to the buzz is local legend Justin “DJ KEG” St. Pierre, who has been brought on as a consultant. He praised the meticulous planning of the project, saying, “I’ve seen the blueprints, and the level of detail is astonishing. We’re sourcing antique baits, furniture, and dartboards to ensure authenticity, but it comes at a cost.”

St. Pierre elaborated on the project’s design philosophy, noting, “At first, the price might shock people, but they’ll understand once they step inside. We’re using old photographs to recreate the decor, training bartenders at the Crescent School of Gaming and Bartending to serve some of the strongest drinks, and even replicating the unique angles of the original flooring. Sourcing the scrap wood for a playable pool table in that environment has been another challenge, but it’s all worth it.”

The reopening of H&R Sports Bar is expected to revitalize the town of Cut Off, bringing a much-needed economic boost to the area. One local resident expressed optimism, saying, “It’s a new dawn for our community.” The resident has even signed up as an Uber and Lyft driver in anticipation of increased tourism and business activity.

With the project’s ambitious vision and strong local support, the return of H&R Sports Bar is poised to become a landmark event for Cut Off. The community eagerly awaits the grand reopening and the economic resurgence it promises to bring.
