(Tavern on the Green), The College Pub, & Casablanca. In 1986, he, Barry Black, & Shutt Hartman bought Gatsby’s Pub from his former boss & good friend Bill Locke and the rest as they say is history. 

Colbert has spent the past 52 years working in motorsports and on various teams in NASCAR, NHRA, & AHDRA.

He is an animal lover and he and his fiancée Teresa are the proud parents of two rescued Weimaraner’s Jemma & Loki. Colbert is an avid sports fan, having played Rugby for the Wake Forest University RFC and The Triad Dogs RFC. Gatsby’s is proud to be a sponsor of the local Carolina Thunderbirds and Colbert rarely misses the opportunity to cheer on his team from The Nest. 

Colbert loves music and has attended 100’s of concerts ranging from the Allman Brothers to Z.Z. Top.

Barry Black

Barry got his start in the bar business in 1986 when he became a partner in Gatsby’s Pub. He and Colbert bought out Shutt Hartman and purchased the Gatsby’s building and property in 1990.

He has had a very successful 40-year career in the paper technology industry.

Barry is an avid UNC Basketball Fan. He was drafted by the Pittsburg Pirates Major League Baseball team, but an injury sustained in college derailed his Pro Baseball career.

Brent has worked in the service industry since 2009 and has worked at various bars in Winston-Salem, including Wild Wing Café, Old Winston Social Club, J. Butlers, & the Crab Shack. While Brent may not remember your face, he will always remember your drink of choice.

Chelsea Smith

Chelsea is your Monday, every other Sunday and Wednesday bartender. She has been at Gatsby’s since 2022 and has worked in the service industry since 2012. You may remember seeing Chelsea at Hooters, Old Winston Social Club or Johnny and Junes in the past. 

She enjoys working on and building race cars with family and even owns her own Legends car.

Chelsea loves to ride motorcycles and owns a Harley Dyna-Glide, which she loves to enjoy on solo rides or with any number of friends. 

If you’ve met Chelsea, you know that she’s a huge animal lover and lost dogs seem to find her all the time. At any given time, there are several at home living with her, as her heart is as big as her smile and it’s hard for Chelsea to turn away a four-legged friend in need.

Jenna Buskirk

Jenna is your Tuesday, every other Sunday and Wednesday bartender. She has been at Gatsby’s since 2021 and has worked in the service industry since 2009. Jenna has worked at Bull’s Tavern, The Ramkat, & Downtown Brodys.

Jenna is an animal lover and has 2 kitty cats, Blackjack & Kitten. They are the apples of her eye and she will be the first to admit that they are spoiled rotten and rule the house!

Jenna is a favorite of our Wednesday night shaggers and loves to watch them enjoying themselves on Gatsby’s new flooring and having such a good time together.
