The Truth Behind 456 N State St: A Message of Gemini Grit 🛡️​

They say grit is the passion and endurance to achieve long-term goals despite obstacles. For the last two years, Gemini Bar & Grill LLC has been defined by that very grit.

Today, I am making a piece of our history public record. As the attached legal documents from the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) prove, the ownership of Gemini Bar & Grill was legally and officially sold to me in July 2023.  The time has come to share the whole truth.

The Timeline of the Truth:

​

• July 2023: I became the 100% owner and Managing Member of the Gemini.

• Sean Casey (aka) “was officially removed from the business.

• May 8, 2024: Despite this legal sale and my 20-year career in this industry, we were subjected to an illegal eviction—a "rug pull" that attempted to strip the community of its longest-standing music venue.  All investments and improvements were 100% financed by my ownership.

• The Aftermath: "The Gemini/Cut Supper Club" was launched in our space.

• It was never Gemini. It never held the right to our name, our equipment, or our 100% owner-led legacy.  All equipment and property has belonged to Gemini since July 2023.​

Now, history is repeating itself. As the building owner attempts another "rug pull" on the current occupants and lists the property for sale, it is clear that a pattern of fraudulent and unethical behavior continues.  There needs to be end to this greed and abuse of power immediately .

​

We have remained quiet to let the legal due process run its course, but we will not allow the "goodwill" of the Gemini name to be tarnished by a landlord’s actions. Gemini Bar & Grill LLC is alive, it is resilient, and it belongs to the community—not the physical building ONLY.

We are looking forward to 2026 and beyond, where the real Gem will shine again, built on a foundation of integrity, music, and sheer grit.  We have sat back in silence for long enough!

​Sincerely, 

THE OWNER of Gemini Bar & Grill
