Posting on Facebook, Emily wrote: “Not sure what I've done to deserve this, I know I don't deserve this.

“I’ve done nothing but try to create a nice environment for people to come and enjoy a drink with entertainment and build a good reputation for the bar, but there's always going to be people that TRY to knock you down when you're trying to do well."

“I need to get my deepest thank you's out to the people that instantly rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in helping out before the paint dried.

“The amount of help and support was unreal it's actually really overwhelming, thank you.”
