After 13+ unforgettable years of being a home for veterans and our community, the time has come for One Final Goodbye.
On Saturday, July 19th at 6 PM, join us for one last night of laughter, music, and memories at Bastards Canteen, a place that has been more than just four walls and a bar.
Built in honor of the “Magnificent Bastards,” 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, Bastards became a safe haven, a modern-day VFW for a new generation. It’s where strangers became family, stories were shared, and lives were changed.
Let’s gather one more time to celebrate the legacy, the brotherhood, and all the moments that made Bastards so special.
• Karaoke • Sd Live Music • A

Let’s give this place the farewell it deserves. Together.
