A pleasant surprise in today's Sunday edition of the Watertown Daily Times, available at stores everywhere. A story and photo about my business and me explaining the defacto use of "The Mayor's Bar" as the moniker for Fort Pearl, the northside gin mill I have owned for 27 years.
Even got a photo by shutterbug Amanda Morrison (an RIT grad) showing two of our fine products offered by Eagle Beverage. One is '312', an Urban Wheat Beer brewed by Chicago's Goose Island Brewery. The other offering featured in the photo is Saranac Shock Top Raspberry, one of many in a line of beers brewed in Utica.
Getting back to self promotion. We have been making improvements to the tavern of late and invite you all to stop by today. Even though its Easter, the work at the Mayor's Bar never stops. And in keeping with a pledge to be the Mayor who's there, I will be on duty this afternoon.

Did you find the oven???
If only as much interest was given to promoting the city.
I'm sure plenty of advice is offered by and sought from your regulars. Should we call these folks your "Liquor Cabinet"?
After it does appear much or the city leadership has been directly influenced by the liquor cabinet.
Congrats...on 27 years. Not many saloons last that long with the same mortageee. I think what you are doing is a stroke of marketing genius. You may become the next "Crazy Horse Saloon" in the City. The bar looks pleasant and cheerful to me in the photos and seems safe for an old timer like me. Maybe it's time I came to the City for a Summer Ale.
As soon as I heal up I will stop and have a cold one. The Mayor doesn't own the city. We do. Promote it. Nothing to say an average person can't write a paper in another city and tell about our city and why it's so God dam cool. Write a book. Take some pictures and start a blog on why Watertown is so great for you. Don't you think when the Mayor posts a nice picture on his blog about Watertown that it promotes the city? Think a little.
I read the article as a negative. Then again maybe that is because I find it hard to believe the Times would write a positive article about you
Story and picture were fine. Kinda of interesting. Snarky headline from whomever was on the desk this weekend.
That glass of 312 is looking mighty tasty!
