#628 - Bar Owners struggle with violence due to Defund The Police

It’s been less than two weeks since the state of Oregon fully reopened and bars are happy to have the business back but now they’re dealing with a whole new set of problems that many didn’t have before.

“We’ve had to hire a door person we have to have security here now which we never had to have before,” Brian Gardes, owner of The Pharmacy in northwest Portland, said. Dardes and the co-owner of Dixie Tavern, Dan Lenzen, both said that they’ve been dealing with unruly, drunk and defiant customers since the full reopening.

“We were only open until 10 o’clock and so people got used to drinking and getting their buzz on until 10 well now since we’re open until 2:30 they’ve forgotten how to pace themselves to go until 2:30,” Gardes said. “You also have people who’ve been drinking at home for the last year and a half and how they pour drinks is different than how we pour drinks.” It’s only been 13 days since the state reopened and Gardes said they already had to hire a security guard and bouncer because of the large crowds.
