Anyone know who owner of Cooter Brown's is?

I don't know. But Cooter Brown must have been a drunk sumbitch. He set the standard for drunkenness.

i never met him, but, heard alot about him...

Wiki had several versions of the story of Cooter Brown but this one is my favorite

Cooter Brown was a half-breed (Half Cherokee, Half Black) who lived in south Louisiana on a small plot of land given to him by an old Cajun fur trapper. Cooter lived alone in the old Cajun's shack. When the civil war broke out, Cooter didn't want to choose sides, because he didn't know who might win. He didn't like people much and was fearful of either side. Because of this, Cooter, who was a heavy drinker anyway, began drinking all the time. Cooter always dressed like an Indian so as to confirm the fact that he was an Indian and not a Negro. And as such, he was a free man. Whenever soldiers (Yanks or Rebels) showed-up in the area they would always find him drunk. Oftentimes he'd offer the soldiers a drink. Word began to spread about the crazy, drunken Indian named Cooter Brown. By the time the war ended, Cooter couldn't stop drinking if he had wanted to. One night his shack caught fire and burned completely to the ground. When locals investigated the burned site the next day there was nothing that remained of Cooter's body. They surmised that old Cooter had so much alcohol in him that he had just burned up. Since then Cooter Brown has been synonymous with inebriety

but worth getting in contact with the owner over?

Good point, les.

If I'm going to go out of my way to track down personally and contact the owner of an establishment over something one of his employees did, it will deinitely be over something that is a story worth telling. Certainly, it would be something more than just being "dissed" by a bartender.

I was there last night. Bartenders were cool to me.
