Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!
2010 May 17
Well, it’s taken a while but it is no doubt worth the wait: Beginning June 6, Venti’s will be open on Sundays from 2-10.
The restaurant AND the bar will open at 2pm, so Basement Bar fans, this is your day to visit our cozy cozy lounge before 4pm.
It is long past time to be open on Sundays. We have worked so hard over the years. Historically Sunday has been the only day off for some of us, but Venti’s is bursting at the seams. We are frequently in the cafe on Sundays doing maintenance, taking shopping lists, preparing for the week ahead and customers come by, pull on the door handle only to find it locked, and stand in the doorway cupping their hands around their eyes to peer inside. Then they shrug and walk off. Sigh.
Venti’s wants downtown Salem to thrive. We see people downtown during the day on Sunday and we hope that being open on Sundays will drive more life into our lovely downtown core.
Salem rocks.
Also, have you seen the Salem Bicycle Taxi around? Give them a call 503-569-7223 and cruise around downtown Salem.


I am SOOOO happy about this news! I know its tough for owners to work 7 days, but I hope you guys still get some time off sometime. I hope it encourages other downtown businesses to do the same. So, thank you, thank you, thank you! You make Salem rock!
Thank you, Rebekah! We appreciate the excitement. Spread the word!
This is good news indeed!
