Construction Timeline
Construction is already underway, with the new Ghost Light Pub set to open in late 2024. The entire project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.
A huge thanks go out to Erstad Architects for the renderings shown below and all the fantastic design work for BCT’s Setting the Stage Capital Improvements.
Here, you see 3 early visualizations of BCT’s new Ghost Light Pub to open in December 2024:
We’ve worked closely with Erstad and our contractors at Jordan Wilcomb Construction to amplify the final outcome with upgrades in finishes and furniture.
Expect to be wowed with a mahogany bar back and front, lit wine lockers with wine storage inserts, pressed tin ceilings and state-of-the-art bar equipment & design by Bargreen Ellingson
The entrance includes floor-to-ceiling wall displaying BCT memorabilia, comfy leather booths to seat 4-6 and sip a glass of wine or beer while conversing about that night’s play, enjoying a performance of local artists on the pub stage or unwinding after a long day.
Exposed, original 1920s seed warehouse brick walls, original maple flooring, huge original windows along 9th street, tables seating 2, 4, and 6 guests at a time, and a moveable stage to enjoy local singer-songwriters, poets, comics, and more make the Ghost Light Pub the place before and after a show.
How to Support
With $2 million still needed to reach the campaign goal, BCT invites businesses,
foundations, families, and individuals to contribute to this transformative initiative.
