0:32
Speaker 1: Today it is Thursday the no I'm sorry, Yeah, it's
0:35
Speaker 1: Thursday four seventeen, twenty twenty five.
0:38
Speaker 3: Uh.
0:39
Speaker 1: Obviously, if you live in the town of Milford, you
0:40
Speaker 1: kind of know what's been going on. If you're you know,
0:42
Speaker 1: not in a ditch or anything, you know about what's
0:45
Speaker 1: going on downtown and the music scene. So uh, obviously
0:49
Speaker 1: I'll know. I work at Stonebridge, I've been for twenty
0:51
Speaker 1: five years and my guest today is now one of
0:55
Speaker 1: the owners of Stonebridge pill Conine. Thank you for coming on.
0:59
Speaker 1: So so let's write off the rip to spell some
1:03
Speaker 1: online maybe rumors of what this is all about. It's
1:07
Speaker 1: not a town thing, correct, It's not like a porch
1:11
Speaker 1: fest would be shut down. It's not any other bars
1:16
Speaker 1: really other than us.
1:19
Speaker 3: It's just us.
1:20
Speaker 1: It's just us. So all right, let's rewind a little bit.
1:29
Speaker 1: We all know who's coming after us, the whole town does.
1:32
Speaker 1: It's the Dave, the owner of Bistro bask and what's
1:36
Speaker 1: the other one there, El Barrio, and he owns that building,
1:40
Speaker 1: and we've had a long history with him, dating back
1:43
Speaker 1: what twenty years probably Daniel Stanner Street and all that.
1:47
Speaker 1: We don't have to hash back, you know, our relationship
1:50
Speaker 1: with him back then, but he pretty much is signaling
1:54
Speaker 1: us out with whatever. This old archaic rule is that
1:58
Speaker 1: depending upon interpreting how you want to interpret it yourself,
2:02
Speaker 1: you're lower against our lawyer. But basically, Phil, where are
2:07
Speaker 1: we at at this current moment?
2:09
Speaker 4: So we are in violation of a zoning. The zoning regulation,
2:14
Speaker 4: which is kind of loose language, just says no bands,
2:18
Speaker 4: no DJs on a deck or a patio or whatever.
2:21
Speaker 4: It says just pre recorded music. But not pre recorded
2:27
Speaker 4: music if you're paying a DJ, Because if you're playing
2:31
Speaker 4: music on your phone or you're plugging in a computer
2:33
Speaker 4: and I'm paying you to do that through our speakers,
2:35
Speaker 4: I think that's the same thing.
2:37
Speaker 1: Right, so you know, they need to pre recorded.
2:39
Speaker 4: So technically that is the way it's written. Downtown the
2:45
Speaker 4: town finally called us on it for the first time
2:50
Speaker 4: in like ten, I mean they they sent us out
2:51
Speaker 4: a thing keeping it down, you know, like ten, twelve,
2:54
Speaker 4: fourteen years ago. But it's been very kind of just
2:56
Speaker 4: under the radar.
2:57
Speaker 1: Just keeping the levels down, yeah, not shutting it down, right,
3:03
Speaker 1: But they finally.
3:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, called us on a send us a season desists,
3:08
Speaker 4: and we have to go in and see if we
3:12
Speaker 4: could just update the language, which we've made some you know,
3:17
Speaker 4: like written down the days we would do it. We
3:20
Speaker 4: were making some provisions for taking away the DJ outside
3:25
Speaker 4: which play through our speakers music. Anyway, it's gonna be
3:28
Speaker 4: fine as like a good faith but yeah, I mean
3:31
Speaker 4: it's how many weeks?
3:32
Speaker 3: Is that? Fourteen weeks? Two days a week maybe?
3:35
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, what do we do for
3:38
Speaker 1: like live music Sunday? We do Sundays and it ends
3:41
Speaker 1: around eight eight thirty, yeah, and we do Friday happy
3:45
Speaker 1: hours never really low acoustics, and every once in a
3:48
Speaker 1: while we'll throw in a Saturday band, but they are
3:50
Speaker 1: done at the same time too, right, So I don't
3:53
Speaker 1: really know what feathers are being ruffled there.
3:56

4:10

Speaker 1: Mean, so here here's yeah, that's what I'm getting at.
6:41
Speaker 3: Just us.
6:41
Speaker 1: So we literally are the only target. And when the
6:44
Speaker 1: city attorney basically gave you the season assist, you asked him.
6:48
Speaker 3: Well, that's planning and zoning board, okay.
6:51
Speaker 4: Gives us the seasoned assist zoning officer, right, which I mean,
6:56
Speaker 4: it's it's it's.
6:56
Speaker 3: Pretty black and white.
6:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, we're violation of his own regulation.
7:01
Speaker 4: There's no way around it. But then when I asked,
7:05
Speaker 4: I said, well the cat I called Ryan, who owns
7:10
Speaker 4: a cafe. I said, ma'am, what do you think about
7:11
Speaker 4: the letter?
7:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, he goes.
7:12
Speaker 3: What letter I said, this season desist for the live music.
7:15
Speaker 3: He goes. I never got one.
7:17
Speaker 4: I said, what do you mean you never got one?
7:18
Speaker 4: So then I asked the town. I said, you know,
7:20
Speaker 4: well they didn't get one, and they they kind of
7:22
Speaker 4: just replied, well, it's only about you and they're good.
7:27
Speaker 1: That just I mean, we were just yeah, we're so weird.
7:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, it felt like I was like dropping a girlfriend
7:33
Speaker 4: off to a friend and he was like holding her ass.
7:35
Speaker 1: Now I've talked about since since the posters started showing
7:38
Speaker 1: up in the random windows of his establishments. I've been
7:41
Speaker 1: talking about it on the show. And you know me,
7:44
Speaker 1: I my blood runs deep with Stonebridge. You know. I
7:47
Speaker 1: was just twenty five years old when I started there,
7:50
Speaker 1: and you know, and now i'm you know, half, you know,
7:52
Speaker 1: half my life away from that. And you know, I
7:57
Speaker 1: remember when I started Stonebridge, he was not there. I
7:59
Speaker 1: don't believe, you know, if three four. You know, it's
8:05
Speaker 1: just it's kind of that respect that neighbor, like like,
8:08
Speaker 1: you know, if the band's too loud one night, come over,
8:11
Speaker 1: tell us your your father does that. He'll call from
8:14
Speaker 1: home and be like, all right, guys, turning that ship down.
8:16
Speaker 1: You know, like he's very respectful and and doesn't want
8:20
Speaker 1: the music to be loud. And it's one of his
8:21
Speaker 1: biggest things. On the summer nights, like a cool summer night,
8:25
Speaker 1: guys keep it down because people got their windows open.
8:27
Speaker 1: You know, it's not an ac night when their windows
8:29
Speaker 1: are shut. You know, I've never met an owner like
8:32
Speaker 1: your dad that just is always like self aware of
8:35
Speaker 1: his surroundings and he doesn't want to really ruffle the feathers. Now,
8:39
Speaker 1: do bands get out of control sometimes? And think, of
8:41
Speaker 1: course they do, you know, just some of the bands
8:44
Speaker 1: we get just run loud. Sure, but right it's not
8:50
Speaker 1: like it's you know, you know that's a good one.
8:57
Speaker 1: I mentioned none of my listens and know who that
8:58
Speaker 1: band is.
9:00
Speaker 4: It's a it's a Billy Joel tribute. It's a country
9:03
Speaker 4: themed event.
9:04
Speaker 1: Right, but it could still get you know, and that
9:06
Speaker 1: and that's what actually you said, the country theme event.

Speaker 1: So you were just there Tuesday.
9:47
Speaker 3: I was just there and we had some people with us.
9:52
Speaker 4: We didn't want to bring a ton of people because
9:55
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's a zoning regulation hearing with a board.
9:59
Speaker 4: You know, I would be like bringing your kids to
10:03
Speaker 4: like a dentist appointment. I don't know, Like it's it's
10:06
Speaker 4: very like I don't know, there's like a mallet, like,
10:09
Speaker 4: there's name things like it. It seems very formal. But
10:13
Speaker 4: we had a couple of people and actually we had
10:18
Speaker 4: the people. Certain people didn't have any.
10:21
Speaker 1: People hmmm, besides lawyers.
10:25
Speaker 4: But there was a general vibe and an enthusiasm of
10:27
Speaker 4: the rum. So what we want to do is on
10:28
Speaker 4: may Sex. And I'm going to be reaching out to
10:30
Speaker 4: my band people. I'm in the band world. I just
10:32
Speaker 4: need bodies standing in the rum supporting. I mean, hey,
10:36
Speaker 4: if you're against it and you don't think we should
10:38
Speaker 4: be doing it, come on down. Everyone come down. But
10:40
Speaker 4: I think that what's a surprising majority of it.
10:45
Speaker 1: Honestly, I I've been at like I said, I've been
10:47
Speaker 1: asked to, you know, facilitate some stuff. I have said no,
10:53
Speaker 1: only because you know I work for Stonebridge. I want to.
10:56
Speaker 1: I want to, you know, the general public to show
10:58
Speaker 1: their support. Obviously everyone knows what I support, which side
11:01
Speaker 1: of the fence I stand on. I actually thought I
11:05
Speaker 1: was going to be there that night, but apparently Stonebridge
11:07
Speaker 1: has the I'll be probably working instead.
11:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, you probably will.
11:13
Speaker 1: Be Actually know what, I don't have to work. I
11:15
Speaker 1: mean I can just go to the thing. It's not
11:16
Speaker 1: that big of a deal. But I'm excited to see,
11:23
Speaker 1: like I feel like working at Stonemas for twenty five years,
11:26
Speaker 1: you know, with yelp and all this stuff, and you know,
11:29
Speaker 1: good experiences bad experience is too loud to whatever I
11:33
Speaker 1: feel this is. This is a long time for us
11:36
Speaker 1: that we've had so much support behind us, and people
11:38
Speaker 1: are really starting to realize what a staple we are
11:40
Speaker 1: in town.
11:42
Speaker 4: It's tough too, man. I mean, my grandfather bought that
11:45
Speaker 4: property on that corner in nineteen forty nine. What's forty
11:51
Speaker 4: nine minus twenty five, forty.
11:53
Speaker 1: Five, fifty one, and so seventy six years ago.
11:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, so for seventy six years we've been No, I'm
12:01
Speaker 4: not saying oh and then you know I can see
12:03
Speaker 4: it now like, oh, you can do whatever you want.
12:05
Speaker 3: Have you've been there seventy six years. No, that's what
12:07
Speaker 3: I'm saying. But like it's just nonsense.
12:12
Speaker 4: We're bending a little bit on it, and I think
12:15
Speaker 4: that it's gonna be good. May sixth, seven o'clock town Hall.
12:20
Speaker 3: Huh. It's been nerve wracking.
12:23
Speaker 1: I I. Yeah, I've been nervous, so have I Like
12:27
Speaker 1: it's like like like put yourself in my shoes. Now,
12:30
Speaker 1: who you know is I'm only going to be there
12:33
Speaker 1: one or two nights a week tops because I got,
12:35
Speaker 1: you know, the other job now. But when I when
12:39
Speaker 1: this first came down, actually when it first came down
12:41
Speaker 1: the side, when the window, I kind of like poo
12:42
Speaker 1: pooed it. Yeah, Like I didn't really talk to you.
12:45
Speaker 1: I didn't know there was like this huge season assists letter.
12:47
Speaker 1: Plus it was the wintertime. So I will fucking straighten
12:50
Speaker 1: it out before you know, we get to you know,
12:52
Speaker 1: the spring in the in May, right, and you know
12:56
Speaker 1: then it kind of became real, and then he put
12:58
Speaker 1: up the others, Like, here's the thing, why do you
13:02
Speaker 1: got to put up the signs.
13:03
Speaker 4: I was fine with the signs until the last sign.
13:07
Speaker 4: The last sign for me is what I would consider creepy.
13:10
Speaker 4: I talked to some people. The last sign he put
13:13
Speaker 4: up is where I kind of was going to bed
13:15
Speaker 4: at night, and I was like, hmm, that last sign
13:19
Speaker 4: kind of made me uncomfortable.
13:21
Speaker 1: Is that the parade sign?
13:22
Speaker 4: That was a parade sign and all it said was
13:25
Speaker 4: pointing us out that one of our advertisements, which was
13:27
Speaker 4: a misprint. Because in good faith we canceled. So we
13:32
Speaker 4: usually on parade day have a DJ inside and outside
13:38
Speaker 4: sorry rum Runners inside DJ outside rum Runners couldn't do
13:44
Speaker 4: the gig this year, they had a bunch of gigs
13:46
Speaker 4: directly following it, and we figured out, let's try it
13:48
Speaker 4: one year with that rum Runners, and then we canceled
13:51
Speaker 4: the outside DJ because like, hmmm, hearing coming up, probably
13:56
Speaker 4: not a good luck. They had already printed the signs,
14:00
Speaker 4: so when when David printed that oh in the sign
14:04
Speaker 4: say to DJs, it was just like wow, like this
14:10
Speaker 4: is like some psycho X girlfriend stuff.
14:14
Speaker 3: And then when the problem.
14:16
Speaker 4: I had with the sign too, is any I know Kenny,
14:19
Speaker 4: I mean, uh, you know, the dock side guys, the
14:21
Speaker 4: Citrus guys, my bar. When he listed other businesses on
14:26
Speaker 4: the sign and said why should stone Bridge be the
14:29
Speaker 4: only place that should be busy, don't essentially saying don't
14:32
Speaker 4: go to Stonebridge, go to these other places. It's like
14:36
Speaker 4: like pulled out my license. I'm like, all right, yep,
14:38
Speaker 4: Connecticut and United States of America. I was like looked
14:41
Speaker 4: at you know, like went home. I was able to
14:43
Speaker 4: get in my house. They didn't have to walk through
14:45
Speaker 4: any military.
14:47
Speaker 3: You know. It's very weird and I didn't like it.
14:52
Speaker 4: I talked to some people about it. Well, I aied it.
14:55
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm like this, I think broke libel law.
14:59
Speaker 1: I mean I doubt he. I know he didn't for
15:01
Speaker 1: sure ask Kenny from Citrus to put Citrus on the sign.
15:04
Speaker 4: So maybe for them, but I guess it doesn't because
15:06
Speaker 4: you have to show losses. Like if you printed something
15:09
Speaker 4: about me and it like hurt, hurt your business, and
15:12
Speaker 4: I like lost money, then I guess that's maybe. I'm
15:14
Speaker 4: not a lawyer, but that's where it becomes like legal.
15:16
Speaker 1: I just think I don't even talk about legalities. I
15:18
Speaker 1: think it's least respectful.
15:19
Speaker 3: We had a record breaking day that day, right, I mean.
15:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, we break records every year.
15:25
Speaker 3: It just hurt.
15:25
Speaker 4: You know, you just come across the street be like hey,
15:27
Speaker 4: turn it down, or maybe you know, like to bring
15:30
Speaker 4: it to like the litigating town level. Like Harry SBC
15:36
Speaker 4: gets a question, he comes over, he talks to me,
15:38
Speaker 4: like Richie Smith seven sees has questions, like he talks
15:41
Speaker 4: to us like we all talk. We're all family downtown.
15:44
Speaker 3: But he's just it was a blow man.
15:47
Speaker 1: I've always said, you know, I play a lot of golf.
15:50
Speaker 1: I play in a lot of golf tournaments. Every bar
15:52
Speaker 1: in Milford is represented at these golf tournaments when it
15:55
Speaker 1: comes to raffles and gift cards except for two.
15:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know.
16:00
Speaker 1: I know this for a fact. I'm at every one
16:02
Speaker 1: of them. I never see support from him. And also,
16:05
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a funny thing. It's just it's
16:08
Speaker 1: it's you know, you can hang all the signs you want,
16:11
Speaker 1: you can get all the lawyers you want, but you
16:14
Speaker 1: guys are neighbors like like that. Like it's at the
16:18
Speaker 1: point now where it's just I don't feel like it
16:19
Speaker 1: could get better. Like when do you guys sit down
16:21
Speaker 1: and break bread and be like all right, like you'll
16:24
Speaker 1: make a concession. He'll make a concession. You guys just
16:27
Speaker 1: get along. And obviously spent twenty years and we had
16:30
Speaker 1: the rocky road to start with him, you know, back
16:33
Speaker 1: in the Dale Street days, and I just those signs
16:37
Speaker 1: and all of them bothered me. I just think it
16:40
Speaker 1: was especially when like he won.
16:42
Speaker 4: You know, wait, let's clarify something too, because online people
16:45
Speaker 4: are talking about well, why should Stowbridge be allowed to
16:47
Speaker 4: do bands but not him?
16:49
Speaker 1: Right, that's another thing. It's he didn't want bands.
16:51
Speaker 3: He doesn't do bands.
16:52
Speaker 1: Right.
16:53
Speaker 4: It's not only that he's being told. People think like, oh,
16:56
Speaker 4: well he's being told he can't have bands, so and
17:00
Speaker 4: Stoneward shouldn't be able to either.
17:01
Speaker 3: No.
17:01
Speaker 4: No, the story is that he doesn't like us having bands,
17:07
Speaker 4: and then the cafes having bands, but he ain't.
17:09
Speaker 3: Complaining about them, No, just complaining about us, which.
17:15
Speaker 4: I it was weird. That's weird. I fell that under weird.
17:19
Speaker 1: Now you actually are? Are you? Every time I approach
17:23
Speaker 1: you since this kicked up again, you're like, you know,
17:27
Speaker 1: I like David, you know, like, like, I get along
17:30
Speaker 1: with him.
17:30
Speaker 3: I do like David. Actually, I mean this really.
17:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, ruts me off a little bit, right, Like everybody,
17:36
Speaker 4: I like everybody.
17:39
Speaker 2: And.
17:42
Speaker 3: Actually, let's be honest.
17:44
Speaker 4: I think what it early is I want everyone to
17:46
Speaker 4: like me, so I gets sensitive, you know, like it
17:49
Speaker 4: breaks my heart that this guy's like like, damn, what
17:52
Speaker 4: are we doing here?
17:53
Speaker 1: Like what do we I've had.
17:55
Speaker 4: The weirdest conversations of my life over the years. I've
17:58
Speaker 4: had some great conversations. I used to go there, like
18:00
Speaker 4: he was a huge Albario fan.
18:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
18:03
Speaker 3: He's like, why are you in here?
18:04
Speaker 4: I said, I like your drinks and your bartenders are nice.
18:07
Speaker 4: I'm like, what are we talking about?
18:08
Speaker 1: Right?
18:09
Speaker 4: And he's like, give me a weird look, and it's like,
18:14
Speaker 4: oh my god, look at how big this rosemary plant.
18:16
Speaker 4: He's like, what kind of fertilizer are you giving it?
18:18
Speaker 3: He's like, I don't know.
18:18
Speaker 4: Maybe that made him more mad, the rosemary plant he's
18:24
Speaker 4: got in there.
18:25
Speaker 1: You know, the French can be tricky people. I guess,
18:27
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I really don't know. Uh.
18:31
Speaker 1: I think with just reading the comments and what I've
18:37
Speaker 1: received personally, I think this is good for us, not
18:42
Speaker 1: necessarily good for him. I don't wish any restaurant in
18:46
Speaker 1: downtown Milford, or any any restaurant in the country to
18:52
Speaker 1: see a drop off in business, you know, I know,
18:54
Speaker 1: you know the off subject a little bit. Eli's unfortunately left,
18:58
Speaker 1: and that was very sad to me. I loved everyone
19:00
Speaker 1: over there. I still do. But now we got Blind
19:02
Speaker 1: Rhino coming in and and.
19:04
Speaker 3: I love the Drews a dock side.
19:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Drews at dock Side and I live on
19:08
Speaker 1: that side of town now, so I see him there
19:09
Speaker 1: a lot. We love dos and we'll you know, open arms,
19:12
Speaker 1: will bring Blind Rhino in and get some wings and
19:15
Speaker 1: uh and see what what they're up to. That's exciting.
19:18
Speaker 3: We're excited for Blind Rhino.
19:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little sports on there. Yeah, I know they're
19:23
Speaker 1: switching up a little bit in there. I heard today.
19:26
Speaker 1: I have a fun guy that I work with that
19:27
Speaker 1: knows the owners, and they're trying to make it more
19:30
Speaker 1: like the like the Fairfield uh inside like more like
19:33
Speaker 1: the Fairfield location.
19:34
Speaker 3: I think removed the bar from the middle now.
19:36
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. The bar is going to stay.
19:38
Speaker 1: I hope they take that stupid little lip out though,
19:40
Speaker 1: you know that little that little like yeah, that sticks out. Oh,
19:44
Speaker 1: I hate that.
19:45
Speaker 3: Like can I have beer?
19:47
Speaker 1: It's like and when it's packed, it just blocks traffic
19:50
Speaker 1: and then like as a bar tender, you can't reach anybody.
19:52
Speaker 1: Ohey there, I don't anyway, that's that's neither hear nor there.
19:55
Speaker 4: So the elephant in the room on this once again
19:57
Speaker 4: Tuesday May six pm, town Hall.
20:01
Speaker 3: Please come support us.
20:02
Speaker 1: Yes, I've already had people. I know people are making
20:06
Speaker 1: T shirts. I know people are making signs.

Speaker 3: I'm making T shirts.
20:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. Uh, there is going to be a
20:13
Speaker 1: couple of pages created within the next couple of days.
20:15
Speaker 4: Remember Ferris Peeler's day off. Of course it's save Ferris. Yeah,
20:19
Speaker 4: I don't have to make a sience like save Ferris.
20:20
Speaker 4: But like Ferris is crossed off, its is stone Bridge.
20:23
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. I'm down Dude's indicator.
20:31
Speaker 4: But the elephant the room is this. And I talked
20:33
Speaker 4: to myself about this. I say, well, Phil, but if
20:37
Speaker 4: it doesn't go good and we got to see about
20:40
Speaker 4: of the bands.
20:41
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, I love the beginnings. We'd we'd be fine,
20:46
Speaker 3: it'd be different, it'd be damn different.
20:48
Speaker 4: But we'd have to we'd have to move on, you know.
20:50
Speaker 4: And but that is a possibility, like cut up. Is
20:56
Speaker 4: a board gonna get swayed by eighty people in the.
21:00
Speaker 1: Probably not no, but you know, uh.
21:07
Speaker 4: I was scared at doing when I saw the board,
21:08
Speaker 4: they seemed like all business. I'm very smart.
21:10
Speaker 3: When I opened.
21:12
Speaker 1: When I opened Bar three thirty three, we had to
21:14
Speaker 1: go in just for a uh try to get their
21:17
Speaker 1: liquor license to become a cafe license instead of a
21:19
Speaker 1: restaurant license. And the way the lynches were, They're like, ah,
21:24
Speaker 1: it's zz pasy, we walk in, they fucking sign off,
21:26
Speaker 1: we fucking walk out. And then like four random people
21:30
Speaker 1: I didn't know showed up to oppose us even opening
21:34
Speaker 1: the bar because we were next to day did they care?
21:38
Speaker 1: And then they were they were residents like across the street.
21:41
Speaker 1: I was like fucking shaken. Yeah, Like I just invested
21:44
Speaker 1: all this money. I don't even care about the license
21:46
Speaker 1: at this point. I don't want to make sure that
21:47
Speaker 1: business fucking goes in there, you know, fucking nutty anyway,
21:53
Speaker 1: I would love to see everyone rally everyone you can
21:55

Speaker 1: organizing anything, but I will know a lot of people
22:03
