The new staff is ready to serve and eager to please. It was always about the guest experience and giving people a safe place to have a fun time."įor those who haven't been in awhile, now's a good time to climb the stairs and get reacquainted with Bad News. Keeping people out who are trouble makers or have bad attitudes or are shit starters, whatever you want to call them, has always been about making sure that everybody else who wants to be here and be nice and have a great time can do that," Burrow says.

In place of Ricks, Olivier and Kristine Nguyen (down to one night per week), Burrow will be behind the bar Friday through Sunday. You’ll notice the chalkboard is mostly clean, kind of an homage to what’s happening with my staff," Burrow tells CultureMap. The best way to do that is wiping the slate clean, so to speak. "I think it’s good to have a fresh perspective on things. While it's always sad when familiar faces depart, Burrow insists the changes are good news for the award-winning cocktail bar. Burrow's return to front of the house responsibilities - he's always managed the bar's extensive inventory and finances - is part of a host of staff changes that saw the departure of general manager Brandon Ricks and fellow bartender Jeremy Olivier.
