The owner has chosen to disengage in community Mediation to resolve a dispute centering on a bouncer having becoming assaultive towards a customer -presumably due to personal bias of an employee. A prior Google review was left when the customer's attempt to resolve the concern by face to face meeting w/the owner failed to resolve the issue. The owner pressured the customer to remove the review & was offered Community Mediation by the customer. The owner further initiated having the customer "flagged" at Brew River & thus banned from 3 other areas establishments.

I borrowed their torch as I had done before and I stand outside use and return it to bar immediately before sitting. I finished my cigar and drink, went to the men’s room. As I was about to get to my car a male staff member with a pony tail came running out and asked me did I take the torch. The torch was a large size that you would not put in you pocket unless you intended to. I told him I had placed it on the bar and I followed to show him where I had placed it. And that’s where he found it. It was very uncomfortable walking back in after he had ran out after me, since I seemed to be the only “ Black Person” in the place. I was not offered an apology or a thank...
