Jamar, Facilities Manager
The handiest of the Tate brothers, it only makes sense that Jamar helps with the management of the actual facility. Bars and restaurants need constant maintenance, he leads the effort. A tradesman, he was talked into helping his little brother maintain the bar. With his welding, painting, and construction backgrounds he keeps the place looking good. A trustworthy set of eyes and hands, he’s a utility player who is active in a lot of areas, from bartending to security.

Isaiah, Community outreach
Isaiah is the diplomat of the Tate brothers, so it only makes sense that he would be our liaison to the local community. Isaiah has been working closely with city officials, Kent Kiwanis, and other local nonprofits to help in our neighborhood. He is a point person on all of our quarterly fundraisers. A natural communicator with a strong sales background, he was talked into helping his little brother grow the bar. A trustworthy set of eyes and hands, he’s a utility player who is active in a lot of areas, from bartending to security.
