Today we’d like to introduce you to John Dabrowski
Hi John, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My wife and I got married in 2008 on Delray Beach in Florida. Shortly thereafter we moved to Pawleys Island, South Carolina for a job opportunity. We fell in love with this town, and the community, and in 2020 I was able to open Local, Eat, Drink, Celebrate in The Hammock Shoppes! The building is a part of the history of Pawleys Island, and we feel very grateful to now be a part of the history.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
We opened up near the beginning of the Covid pandemic. It was a difficult journey to get where we are, but because of our amazing Locals (that’s what we call our regulars), we are now five years into our journey and are so grateful for the people who have helped us get to this point!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Local Eat, Drink, Celebrate?
We are a restaurant that prides itself in preparing great quality food, with personable & professional service. We also make sure to make everyone feel welcome in an inclusive environment. Our events our popular within the community – from Blues Brunch, Trivia & Drag shows.
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
I grew up in a small town in Indiana. I have always been driven, even from a very young age. I kept myself busy playing sports and succeeding in school, while working a full-time job through high school.
