This year’s recipient of the Main Street Business of the Year award is The Renaissance and Barrel 51 in Tiffin. The Renaissance and Barrel 51 opened its doors in 2017 to bring the Roaring 20s back to Tiffin. The bar incorporates 1920s-style drinks, uniforms, and design. As the pandemic hit, The Renaissance was forced to shut down. Instead of letting Tiffin stay cooped up, owner Dave Spridgeon opened a food truck so people could enjoy food while upholding social distancing guidelines. Spridgeon also purchased a party bus and converted it to a speakeasy on wheels to bring the fun to you.
Dave says it best, “The historic downtown of Tiffin continues to grow, and we as business owners must do the same.”
