Local Business Thread to hurt feelings | Question about Bru

[BernieP]

When I first went to Bru I was a bit excited, it had a decent variety of good beers. But there has been a steady turnover of staff and the offerings seem to be nothing special, it's become another bar, a not so good one at that.

Went back recently and didn't recognize but one or two people on staff. Service was frankly putrid, and overall a rather less than cheerful environment.
What's the story? New ownership? new management? Why the decline?

Just my two cents, oh, wait, asking for a friend.

Where is Bru?? Never heard of it

Shepard's Old Field market in Leonardtown.

Shepard's Old Field market in Leonardtown.

That would be the place. I have no problem with the Market itself, new shops, they expanded
Botanic got a better spot, inside and outside seating - somewhat healthy food, nice people
Salted Scoop, fantastic ice cream, interesting flavors.
I saw the Viking Axe throwing, pretty cool spot and they have stuff for kids.
If you don't believe in the 2nd Amendment, you may want to avoid

Like I said, I hadn't been, Bru started out great, lots of promise.
Then it seemed like a change in management and things got a little slack.
But on my last visit, I walked out, the staff just didn't seem interested and the beer selection looked like it hadn't changed in the last 6 months.
I also heard from friends that it can get a little rough on Friday nights, apparently a much younger crowd than any of the other places in Leonardtown.

I have never been there and from the sound of it, doubt I ever will.

Suit yourself.

 

[LightRoasted]

For your consideration ...

Suit yourself.

Sure. Take away the jobs of tailors. Why do you hate tailors?

My best insult was being called a Worthless C***! Considering the source, I wear that crown proudly!

I don't like to use the C word as an insult, it's a useful part of the body.
Crude word, but useful body part.

Now there is no use for liberals except as backfill, canon fodder or chum
