One of Sackville’s longest serving bars, Ducky’s, has new owners. Sarah Poirier and Kate Cogswell took possession of the bar on February 1.
Poirier and Cogswell, said they didn’t know each other well before becoming business partners, but knew they’d be a good fit when they realized they shared the a vision for what the bar could be.
“I think the biggest thing about Ducky’s is that it needs to stay a community-centric space,” said Cogswell.
And they’re hoping to attract people who don’t see themselves as members of the ‘bar scene.’ Poirier said one way to do that is to have more non-alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks. “Because I have a lot of friends and I think Kate does too, who just are not drinkers,” said Poirier. “We really want to keep the vibe as is and just open it up.”
