"..and We are the special bar."
"The Special Bar" is a group of interesting characters... It's weird. It's friends.
Being originally started in 2014 with members Michael (Michaelmcchill), Brandon (Brandon35SD), Tristin (Forbidding), and Rob (ImaDrum), "The Special Bar" was an immediate love project amongst friends. From the very first day, countless entertaining videos have been created, released, and given to the world.
Since the creation of the group, the focus has shifted over the years. Originally starting off creating series such as "Minecraft: TSB Survival", "The Special Bar Podcast", and more, the channel went in many directions. From let's plays, to scripted "machinimas" and "sketches", the channel has created many types of content. Being about over-all fun and creating content with friends, that's remained the constant.

Over the years, many changes have come to the group. With the addition of members to the channel like Matt (Smeckly), and Jayden (Mattsi), "The Special Bar's" family grew larger. During these shifts, the style of content created on the channel changed, and thus shows like "Button Mash" (a show about console gaming), "Master Race" (a show about PC gaming), "Showdown" (a show about beating your friends' ass in gaming), "Retrograde" (a show about playing old games and having them beat your ass in gaming), and "The Special Bar Podcast" sprung up.

In 2016, Michael (MIchaelmcchill) and Jayden (Mattsi) headed to Indy PopCon to do a comedy-gaming panel and show "The Special Bar: Let's Play LIVE!". Getting good reactions from the crowd and those who watched at home, it's still something that there is definitely an interest for.
As it sits, "The Special Bar" is currently on hiatus.
Since this hiatus has began however, "Raising The Bar", a charity fundraising initiative by "The Special Bar" has taken place twice on Michaelmcchill's Twitch page in 2019. In both streams, $8,211.33 and $9058.88 were raised individually, totaling $17,270.21 for "Crisis Text Line".
