At that time, they carried on their family’s love of the hospitality industry and opened Toby’s Pub and Toby’s Liquor Store. Staying true to their roots was important, so they opened the Liquor Store in approximately the same location as the old Lynwood Hotel. Following suit with their next venture, Toby’s Pub, now Toby’s Social House, was developed close by, a few blocks west and across the street on Main Street.

In 2001, they purchased the Silvertone Tavern on Commercial Drive and 11th Street. Two years later, the Tavern was converted to a larger pub and private liquor store in the beautiful two-story building. The pub and adjacent liquor store featured the locals’ beer, wine and spirits, and an amazing “Women in Power” mural. The pub provided a vibrant meeting spot for 18 years with live music and entertainment.

The pandemic of 2020 caused another renovation on the Drive; closing the pub and expanding the liquor store to the two-story structure. The upper floor now offers a spectacular meeting and tasting room for wine and scotch, surrounded by the same art collection from the pub days-gone-by.
