The Corner Pub had not celebrated its first birthday in 2004 before a devastating fire destroyed it and the other four businesses sharing Airheart Square on West College in the historic Oakhurst district. The neighborhood and businesses in Decatur sponsored fundraisers to help owners and employees who suddenly found themselves out of work.

Having salvaged all they could from the ruins, Joshua and Bethy began looking for a new site.
East Decatur Station was just down the street, closer to home. Working closely with the EDS owners, Joshua and Bethy and Jeremy Samford, Joshua’s long-time friend and fellow Eagle Scout, began build-out in the new, bigger space with a great deal of help from family and friends. The lessons learned at the first place show in layout, décor and the general feel of this new space.
