Can we get a rundown of non-problematic/antiMAGA bar owners in Canton? I'm running out of places I feel comfortable spending my money.

Pasta Mista is Trumpy. They used to have a Trump sign on their cash register bashing Biden for inflation.

I didn’t know there were other places that are problematic/MAGAboner. Which ones should I avoid?

Do not know what their potlical affiliations are, but the owner of Lee's Pint and Half Shell was a giant shitty asshole throughout most of the pandemic.

The owner of all the Lee’s locations is a psychopath and most definitely a denier and MAGA blow hard. I once saw him get in a fight with and fire one of his bouncers because he did his job not letting someone in. But that someone happened to know the owner. Like a screaming rage filled fight in the parking lot in front of everyone. The dude is trash.

Living near Lee's sucks, they are terrible neighbors.

Yea they seem to act like they own the whole street. I walked by once during the 'social distancing takeout' phase and it looked like they passive-aggressively made the line spacing way too big to push the line down the sidewalk in an almost 'if I have to do this all of you that live here must suffer' kind of way.

Didn't they just take over the street for some party thing a few weeks ago? I was wondering if the even bothered to tell the people who live there it was gonna happen?

They do it about 6 times a year, it's a mess of drunks stumbling around the streets trying to find alleys to pee in and harassing near-by restaurant owners to use their bathrooms which if allowed they destroy.

Most probably keep their politics to themselves, but as a group of people, bar owners aren't wildly different than other small businessfolk--it's a life that both selects for and encourages reactionary shit.

I mean, I also know of a few that have some DV issues, so I won't give them dollars. I'm not gonna put names out there because people can look through the sub and find that. I just want to know where the progressive bar owners are so I can fill their pockets instead.

Not in canton but just down the street in fells is Greyhound Tavern. Very progressive /LGBTQ friendly. They have great cocktails and Molly (one of the owners) frequently comes up with awesome sangria flavors that rotate seasonally.

At this point it seems easier for Fells/Canton to make lists of the few places that are good to go.
