“With Martin’s background in hospitality, it was a no-brainer.” “Since the day we met, this is something we’d wanted to do,” says Erin, who works as a real estate agent. Post-pandemic, as Kumar and Siler were moving on to new ventures (the two are planning to open a new restaurant concept on Bickett Boulevard soon), they wanted the right person to transfer management. “As an indoor, underground bar, we were particularly cautious,” says Siler. When COVID-19 hit, Neptunes closed its doors and Kumar and Siler struggled to find the right timing and circumstances to reopen. It was - and still is -an anytime place for just about anyone, just as Kumar and Siler had hoped it would be. The mentality “dance like nobody’s watching” was manifested under the lights. Lines wrapped Martin Street to get into Neptunes on a Friday or Saturday night. “We envisioned this place as your parent’s basement when they’re out of town,” says Kumar, noting that initially, they had a DJ in-house every night to play vinyl.Īnd it was the most coveted party in town. Kumar took the lead to perfect the space at Neptunes, from the dim lighting on the dance floor to the creative cocktail menu using local products, produce and ingredients (she jokes that her extensive cocktail menu was the product of a frustrated chef). Kumar and Siler secured the lease for Neptunes in 2010, along with the spaces for live music venue Kings and Kumar’s acclaimed Garland restaurant, which closed last year. Today, it’s helmed by another husband-and-wife duo, Martin and Erin Wheeler, who reopened Neptunes late last year to much excitement from locals who’d been missing its subterranean scene. It was a favorite venue that secured national and even international touring acts from jazz to local punk bands and even comedy acts. The beloved underground bar on Martin Street was originally opened by husband-and-wife duo Cheetie Kumar and Paul Siler.
