The New Year is here and moving very quickly.

On New Years Eve, we held a celebration here at Rhombus Guys and wanted to put up some videos of the fun.

Thank you to all our family, friends and Regulars who came out to enjoy the three levels of fun.

Enjoy the videos and come join us for pizza, drinks and Grand Forks Best Events in 2011.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Everyone!

What an amazing year it has been for all of us at Rhombus!! So many successful things have happened, and it is all because of our friends like you.

We finished up our expansion–which meant Arron and I had to find new places to live. The Loft and the Rhombus Rooftop have been exciting new additions, and we can’t imagine operating without them anymore. How did we ever make it work with just that main level and tiny basement room??

We have been able to host many successful private parties on both of our new levels, including my groom’s dinner in June. The roof was a blast, and I think we have finally worked out any kinks that may have slowed us down this last summer.

Thanks to everyone for coming up there and hanging out with us; it is a fun and unique place to have a few cocktails.

It was definitely a huge year of growth, and we know we experienced some growing pains. We greatly appreciate the patience and the continued support. We also added a gluten free pizza crust to our repertoire so if you know any celiacs let them know about us.

We had a great season out in Mentor at the Rhombus House of Pizza. We can’t wait to get back out there this spring for all of you lake-goers. Remember to stop by even if you are heading through or if you are just looking for a fun day-trip. Man, it sure would be nice to be feeling those warm summer breezes right about now with a margarita and a pizza.

As we look forward to this new year, we are working on an expansion project in Fargo. It is sure to keep us busy, but we feel we are up to the challenge. We will keep everyone up to date on the progress throughout.

Well, that’s about it from us. Arron and I and the entire Rhombus Gang just wanted to say Thank You So Much for this terrific year!!! We are so grateful to our Rhombus Regulars and we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

God Bless all of you and have a safe and happy holiday season!!!! And as always, Don’t be a Square. . . Eat, Drink, and Play at the Rhombus!!!

Sincerely,
Matt Winjum and Arron Hendricks
Rhombus Guys

PS. If you are looking for something fun to do on New Years Eve, come down to Rhombus Guys and dress warm. We are having a party on all three levels, including the Rooftop. It will certainly be a good time and I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Earlier this month we put a post on the Rhombus Facebook page asking what you’d like to see more of here at Rhombus Guys.

Many who responded said they liked contests and trivia (both in the store and on Facebook).

As we do our best to listen when you tell us what you’d like, we held a Karaoke Contest on Wednesday night and would love it if you could pick the winner.

Here are the entries and all you have to do is choose your favorite and they will win cash on their Rhombus Regulars card.

Here are the videos:

Lacey performing “Gunpowder and Lead”

Robert singing “Surrender”

“Folsom Prison Blues” performed by Darren

Rhombus Ruckus

On the 4th of September we held the Annual Rhombus Ruckus.

This year it was a little different than in the past as it was held on the Roof of Rhombus.

It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed those of you who were able to make it out to hear the best Live Music Grand Forks has to offer.

For those who couldn’t attend, due to limited room, we took several videos of the groups that joined us.

First we had “North River Ramblers” and here is some footage of their portion of the event.

Next up was “Seven Dollar Shift” keeping the great tunes going.

And finally to finish off the night was “P.B. & The Jam”

Hope you enjoyed the videos and check back regularly for more live music here at Rhombus Guys!

With School back in session we’ve decided to add to put together a few more contests together for you here at Rhombus.

In addition to our Trivia on Tuesday nights, where you can win cash on your Rhombus Regulars card for what you voted “Grand Forks Best Pizza” for the 4th year in a row, and our occasional Karaoke Contest (which we hope you help us pick a winner on below) we’ve also added a couple more ways to win here at Rhombus Guys.

This month, we’ll be picking a random winner EVERY week. All you have to do to enter is present your Rhombus Regulars card each time you come in…so not only will you get 5% cash back rewards on your card, but also the chance to win more cash on your Rhombus Regulars card!
