Would You Ban This Musician from Your Restaurant?

This is Jeff Fabb, drummer for Filter. He was refused service at Brothers Bar&Grill because they took exception to the tattoos he has on his neck.  Why?

That’s a great question.  The company issued this statement: 

“We are NOT against tattoos. We are NOT against visible tattoos. Our employees have and display tattoos. Our guests have and display tattoos. That has always been the case. What the tattoo represents or symbolizes and where the tattoo is located is a criteria to entering our location.”

Okay, so….what’s the problem?

Brothers Bar&Grill is a national chain.  Let’s watch this one blow up with tattooed people.
