You may have noticed that our old location is still wearing some of our 'Gemini' clothes. It’s a very unflattering infringement of our brand tribute and, it’s important for our music community to know the truth: The Cut Supper Club is not Gemini Bar & Grill nor is it Gemini Bar & Grill LLC. Its use of the name is illegal and is the source of litigation at this current time. This has been extremely difficult, painful and expensive to watch play out, while enduring an ongoing active litigation process. Patience is not easy.
The Cut Supper Club is not in any way affiliated with the Gemini Bar & Grill. It exists purely because we filed a lawsuit against the owners for trade dress and trademark infringement (among other claims).
​
The point of this Public Announcement however, is to clear up any confusion with the use of our Tradedressing, Trademarks, goodwill and reputation in the community, and the ongoing notifications we get on our social media related to “The Cut”. This sustained and continued misuse of the Gemini is misleading and confusing to the community and The Cut’s continued leaching off of our name and history is illegal and (in our opinion) an insult to the community it claims to curry favor with.

A brand isn't just a sign or a logo. It’s not just a name. It’s the 20+ years of solid booking, the music, community, standard of sound, and the commitment to 'Prophecy over Profit.' The Stage and Production Equipment belong to Gemini Bar & Grill, and are currently held hostage by The Cut while litigation plays out, along with other things that do not belong to them. This is a sad and unfortunate truth to share. Don’t get it twisted folks. There is already enough smoke & mirrors in our world today to confuse us all for many years to come. We want to offer more transparency moving forward.
