re: So apparently Ivar's flew too close to the sun

First, the Merchant is one of the best non-fine-dining restaurants we have in BR. Their chef is incredible, they are constantly trying new things and keeping it fresh, their bar staff rocks, and their social media presence and community engagement is what other restaurants wish they could be.

I spent 1-2 days a week in ZeeZee’s when it was open (my boyfriend when drunk fancies a juke box), and I kinda doubt anyone cares that the <10 regulars there don’t dine at Merchant. Hell, some of them are better gone.

As for Ivars, it’s not my bar of choice but good for them doing what they need to do to stay alive. They’ve gained a larger following than they had before due to being the only bar open for a few months of this.

Don’t see how anyone could have a raging erection over a business being shut down, just because they don’t like the people that go there. (Also, that’s weird. What are we? 16, mad that the attractive kids are successful?)

I say this as a Duvics regular who also prefers the Duvics crowd to Ivars. I would never rally for a business being shut down.
