Moving back to her hometown after being gone for almost 30 years, Bergin began working at R Bar as a server and bartender. Bergin says she’s grateful for how friendly the community of Lemmon has been since her return. “They opened their arms,” recalled Bergin. “People are always asking if I need extra hands. There's a whole community out there ready to help.” When Bergin took over ownership, she decided to keep things consistent with what R Bar had done in the past under Shari Smith , the previous owner. “I didn't want to do a bunch of drastic changes, and so I kept the menu as is,” elaborated Bergin. R Bar offers a 10 and 16-ounce hand-cut, marbled Ribeye , a 12-ounce, thick cut New York Strip , and an eight- ounce Top Sirloin , all char- broiled, seasoned, and cooked to the patron’s preference. For an additional cost, guests can smother their steak with sautéed mushrooms, onions, or add four shrimp on top.
“The opportunity came up where I could buy it myself and it was serendipitous. I love the town of Lemmon.” Rayna Bergin
