Get ready for another incredible showcase in the Siouxland Toys For Tots Christmas in July Battle of the Bars! 🌲✨ Clocking in as our fabulous fifth contender is none other than the fantastic Pub 52! We caught up with the team to chat about childhood nostalgia, epic holiday memories, and why they are fighting for the top spot. Check out their inspiring answers below!

The driving force behind Pub 52
The absolute best part of owning a bar is the people! From their fiercely loyal patrons to their rockstar staff and every single new face that walks through the door, meeting amazing people along the way is what makes it all worthwhile. Reaching an incredible 12 years in the business is a major milestone for them, and they even had to double-count because it doesn't sound real. Time flies when you are having fun!

A decade of giving back
Pub 52 has been proudly supporting Toys For Tots for roughly 10 years, carrying on a beautiful tradition of generosity that originally started with the owner's mom, Robin, back when they were at JT’s. The passion for this fundraiser has only grown stronger over the years, making it one of the yearly events they look forward to most. They readily agreed to join this year's battle to rally behind an amazing, life-changing cause and to enjoy a little healthy competition against some of their favorite places in town.

Unbeatable specials & holiday nostalgia
To get everyone in the giving spirit, Pub 52 is running an ultimate, game-changing deal where bringing in 1 toy gets you 10% off your bill, and bringing in 2 toys scores a massive 20% off. Even better, you can use this discount as many times as you want throughout the competition! When it comes to holiday nostalgia, the childhood favorite was Hot Wheels hands down, especially since they used to have all the most epic tracks. As for an adult wishlist, Legos are the top choice because the complexity of the modern sets is absolutely unreal.
Finally, their most favorite feel-good holiday memories are a beautiful tie, spanning from the pure joy of my mother watching me open gifts as a kid, to now experiencing that exact same magical feeling watching my own two kids open presents on Christmas morning. Nothing else beats that feeling!

Once upon a time, in the heart of the snow-covered Siouxland, a magical contest was brewing. It wasn't December just yet, but the spirit of giving was already sweeping through the town for the grand Toys for Tots Christmas in July Battle of the Bars!
On this special day, the holiday spotlight shone brightly upon a brand-new, cozy haven called The Ridge Golf & Pub. Though its doors had only just opened to the public this very month, the keepers of this pub were no strangers to hospitality. They had been welcoming weary travelers and cheerful locals at another tavern since the faraway year of 2019. For them, the greatest joy of owning a pub was the magic of meeting new faces and weaving an atmosphere of pure, festive fun.
But the true heart of this story stretches back twenty-three winters. For over two decades, the owner’s entire family had served as dedicated elves for the Siouxland Toys for Tots, wrapping the community in hope and joy year after year. When asked why they joined this friendly summer battle, the answer was simple: they loved supporting their neighbors and cherished the thought of the bright smiles on children's faces come Christmas morning.
The pub’s owner often looked back on their own childhood memories, fondly remembering the days of playing with beloved Cabbage Patch dolls. They laughed, thinking of how nice it would be if Santa could bring an adult-sized miracle this year—perhaps a helpful robot to clean the entire house after a long night of hosting! But the most cherished memory of all was a nostalgic scene straight out of a classic holiday film. Every December, their father would gather the whole family out in the crisp front yard. With a dramatic flourish, he would flip the master switch like Clark Griswold himself, instantly bathing the house in a brilliant, breathtaking sea of twinkling holiday lights.
To keep that luminous spirit alive during the competition, The Ridge Golf & Pub has announced a special holiday treat for its patrons. Any generous soul who brings a new toy to place under the summer tree will receive $1 off their very first drink.

Battle of the bars spotlight: Sugar Daddy's (Big Pappa’s Grub on the Run)
Christmas in July is officially sizzling in Siouxland! We are keeping the festive, competitive spirit bright by spotlighting the amazing local spots fighting for the crown in our Battle of the Bars for Siouxland Toys for Tots.
Today, we are thrilled to feature our third contender: Sugar Daddy's ( Big Pappa’s Grub on the Run)!
Owner Big Pappa has been serving up cold drinks and warm smiles for 6 years, and for every single one of those years, he has been a dedicated champion for Toys for Tots. For him, this competition is deeply personal. As a child, the holiday season was made magical when the U.S. Marines handed him toys—a gift that never felt like a handout, just pure holiday magic. Now, he is paying that magic forward.
