Their current longest standing bartender (or one of them, if there’s another who has been there long) has also worked at Duvics for years, what?

Probably one of the kindest people I know. The GM came from Bulldog and is awesome. The wait staff didn’t just appear out of the ether. They came from other industry spots I’m sure you enjoy.

I can’t fathom how someone can feel “not welcomed” at Merchant I feel so comfortable there that it’s in my rotation of spots I’ll go have a drink alone.

If only their bartenders didn’t add extra drinks to a tab so often, I would be upset by this news. I still frequent the place but now I only pay in cash.

Also, they had a door guy a few months back that was a complete tool. He was trying to start fights with people who were trying to enter the establishment. I’m not sure he is still employed by them anymore though. I give Ivar’s a 3 out of 5.

So what kind of clientele are you and the old regulars and what makes you all suck so bad that they don't want you there?
I know nothing about the place, but I'm just curious.

I went to ZeeZees all the time. I remember one regular being so obnoxious and wasted all the time that he would say disgusting things/grab my thigh regularly.. and often fell off his barstool.

I’m glad he doesn’t come to Merchant

Don’t insult my girl Anna like that. Zeezees was a great bar at the end. I have several memories..err fuzzy ideas there. The only issue I had was the horrible smell coming from the bar. I don’t think the beer drains had ever been cleaned out. That was brutal.



Ha - Zee Zees turned into a total dump at the end. The owners would never fix the toilets and the place reeked like hell. Its so funny to hear how people think that was great. That bar started as a real pick up place and social scene, and ended up with a few drunks who probably hadn't showered in a few days.

I used to live behind Ivar's. I hate that place with a passion, and have only stepped foot in there once.

If he identified with the last few years ZeeZees PBR crowd right before it closed, perhaps he should try the BYOB sofa lounge under the overpass for real character and authentic grit.

Oh man! Are they ever bad about that! They are some straight up thieves. Part of the reason we quit going there so much. I'd always have to have it out with the bar tender about my tab.

We went there with y'all once. Was that the one time? I feel honored, HC <3

Pretty sure I've met you before without knowing it was you (and later being told it was).. so this guy is most certainly not you. He was several times larger than you.

Zee Zee's was cool with little dog hanging out on the bar, so that's a plus in my book.
