Our Vision

Converting Conor Byrne into a nonprofit cooperative is a commitment to creating the kind of future we want to see. Our 3-prong approach will breathe new life into this historic space ensuring Conor Byrne remains a beacon of music and community for generations to come.

Membership Co-op

By re-starting the business as a member-owned cooperative, Conor Byrne is able to create new revenue streams via membership and investment. This will engage the greater community in an energizing campaign to save this historic Ballard cultural institution via a democratic model of governance and community ownership. We have a skilled team of professionals in cooperative, campaign management, as well as bar management experience to support this.
