The Huntington County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting at the new Silver Moon 3 Pub on Saturday, February 11. Several staff members, friends, Chamber Ambassadors, Mayor Richard Strick and others attended and supported Ian Stallings, the investor in the project, celebrating the grand opening.

Silver Moon 3 Pub is operated by Ian Hasselbacher who has experience in bar and nightclub management. Joining him is his mother, Charisse Opie, head of the pub’s kitchen.

Hasselbacher created an approachable and elevated cocktail and mocktail menu using fresh, delicious ingredients while Opie created a fresh, seasonal café menu with light dishes.

“It’s important to note that our drink menu has options for people who don’t want to drink alcohol. We use ingredients that taste great with liquor or without,” Hasselbacher said.

Hasselbacher and Opie moved from California and call themselves, “new, proud Hoosiers.”

“We have been very humbled by, and grateful for the support we have received,” Hasselbacher said. “We’re excited to bring back a beloved space that is filled with many fond memories for people in the region. This is a neat opportunity.”
