Michelle and Michael Brach opened the Wild Coyote Club next to the Neon Moon Steakhouse on Central Avenue in Sutherlin. They own both businesses.
BUSINESS: The Wild Coyote Club and Neon Moon Steakhouse
LOCATION: 204 W. Central Ave., Sutherlin
HOW IT GOT STARTED: Michael and Michelle Brach opened the Neon Moon two years ago. He built log cabins and worked as a cook, while she was in car repossessions and radio.
"We actually did this to retire, if you can believe that," she said.
Instead of retiring, the Brachs started building.
Along with the full-service restaurant, which accommodates many area club and organization meetings, the Brachs started The Wild Coyote Club.
It was an adjoining garage for semitrucks when they purchased the building. Now its a night club with a dance floor, stage, pool tables and nightly special events and attractions.
"When we opened up the restaurant, this was just a dream," Michelle Brach said.
They even managed to incorporate the garage into their design.
Giant spools were converted into tables. The pits where work was done under the trucks were turned into a game room, still called, appropriately enough, "the pit."
WHO BUYS: The clientele varies as much as the nightly entertainment. Branch said they get doctors and lawyers and anyone looking for a good time.
Nightly attractions include poker tournaments on Tuesdays, a karaoke competition on Thursdays, a disc jockey on Fridays and live bands on Saturdays.
While everyone is welcome, the owners work to keep order and a positive atmosphere in their establishment. Designated drivers are taken care of with free non-alcoholic drinks and a shuttle to a local motel is available to those who had too much to drink.
Drugs are not tolerated. Anyone caught using will be banned from the premises. Brach said The Wild Coyote Club is more than a bar, it's a classy destination.
"This is worth dressing up for in here," she said.
WHAT'S NEW: The club is still in its infancy, opening in October.
Brach said she also continues to look for new bands to perform on Saturday nights and hopes to bring in other kinds of entertainment as well.
LAST WORD: Brach said there would be no Wild Coyote Club without the help and involvement of family and friends.
"We had customers in here working," she said. "It was a huge group effort."
