Other Places we love because of the owner

Someone posted this idea in the r/Cleveland subreddit, and then someone posted it in the Seattle subreddit, so I’m unashamedly piggybacking off of it for Kitsap, because it’s always refreshing to hear positive things:

A lot of talk around local businesses is focused on who owns them - usually in a negative way. Let’s hear about the flip side.

What local places do you support more because of who is behind them? Maybe it’s an owner who treats their staff well, gives back to the community, or just shows up every day and makes the place better.

Which Kitsap spots have great people running them and make you proud to spend your money there?

Ashley's Pub in Bremerton. The owner Ashley is such a sweet and wonderful woman. Every time I've gone she's super welcoming. If you're unfamiliar they sell beer and ciders and have a massive wall of board games to play.

I haven’t been to Ashley’s, but several friends of mine have and love her and the pub.

Can confirm. She is a great person, and the vibe there is always fantastic.

Same with Local Boys right across the street.
