(Atlantic) The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors visited Fireside Lounge on Thursday, May 14th, 2026, to welcome new owners Tim and Ruth Glines and learn about updates and new activities at the business.
Tim and Ruth have been part of the Atlantic community for many years, including as owners of Affordable Heating and Air. After selling that business, the couple took some time to decide what their next chapter would look like. When the opportunity to purchase Fireside Lounge became available, they saw it as a fun new venture and a chance to continue investing in the community they call home.
Since taking possession of the business in January of 2026, Tim and Ruth have introduced several new additions and expanded offerings at Fireside Lounge. Updates include increased open hours, the addition of a golf simulator room, karaoke nights, pool leagues, and additional game nights designed to create a welcoming atmosphere for customers. The couple has also expanded the menu with additional food options, including daily lunch and supper specials throughout the week.
The Glines also shared information about their 2-person golf simulator scramble and silent auction fundraiser, with proceeds benefiting The Gathering, a nonprofit volunteer group that organizes, prepares, and delivers free meals to residents in need.
Fireside Lounge is located at 504 W 7th Street in Atlantic. For more information about special events and more, visit Fireside Lounge on Facebook or call 712-243-2426.
