Favorite Quote:

“I wanted it to be well-lit—I hate dark bars. I want to see who I'm talking to. And the second thing was if you notice, there’s no chairs at the bar, right? I always hated standing behind somebody trying to get somebody's attention. So I was like, you know, no, no chairs at the bar. You come up to the bar. And so you can get your beer and it worked. And you can kind of see the rest is history.” —Craig Coleman
