The story of The Finery is one of community, resilience, and heartfelt ambition. This proudly family-owned and operated restaurant, bar, and venue was born from a simple yet powerful desire: to give back to the place we call home. When the McLellan family saw a once-loved building sitting empty and deteriorating, they recognized an opportunity to breathe new life into it - not just for themselves, but for the entire community.
Central to this vision was the creation of a space where people could gather, connect, and celebrate life's moments, both big and small. With a lot of hard work, passion, and dedication, The Finery emerged as a warm, welcoming haven, crafted to provide locals with that much-needed "special place" to come together.
