701 Eateries | Bar Manager

701 Eateries & The Best Neighborhood Party

We want our guests to feel like they are at the best neighborhood party. They are amongst friends, and they can come as they are. There is great food and great conversation.  The host (us!) makes them feel welcome and always makes sure the guests have a full drink in hand and a great meal.  How does that happen? It happens because all of us are genuinely interested in our guests. We are interested in their story. . .their family, how their day was, what kinds of food and drinks they love. Empathy and compassion are what makes excellent customer service authentic. Ultimately, we want them to have a better day because they visited 701 Eateries (and any of our other Brew Restaurants concepts).
