Bar loses customers after warning patrons it will ‘not tolerate intolerance’ among guests about Bud Light
The bar noted that it has lost 'some of our regulars,' after its statement disavowing critics of Bud Light, and noted that 'we still need more' customers to replace them.
The Fairfax Bar and Grill in Indiana alienated some of its patrons after it condemned them for criticizing Bud Light's association with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney,
Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch received backlash for partnering with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. The beer maker ignited a firestorm earlier this month when it celebrated Mulvaney's "365 Days of Girlhood," by sending Mulvaney custom-made cans featuring the influencer's face. Millions of Americans have responded by boycotting brands associated with Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch. As of Monday, Bud Light’s dollar share for the latest week lost almost the same amount as rivals like Miller Lite and Coors Light gained, according to a report from Beer Business Daily.
However, one venue in Bloomington, Indiana has made headlines with a contradictory message calling for "open conversations" about the subject, yet demanding those who disagree to "leave" their establishment.
The bar then claimed that it needs more patrons to replace the clientele it has lost.
"Thank you to all of you for supporting our establishment. With the departure of some of our regulars, we have needed new clientele, and you have answered. I'm not gonna lie, we still need more of you right now," the page said. "Please continue to consider supporting us. It's gonna be a great year of friendship, food, drinks and live music!"
