Tony Sylvester: A Tavern Owner for the People

A successful business reflects the personality of its owner, and Tony’s Tavern is a perfect example. You step through the front door onto a wood floor that once belonged to the old Grover Center, and the staff makes you feel instantly welcome. A regular walks in and the bar turns into a scene from Cheers. It’s a unique community of good-hearted and generous people, and it all starts at the top with Tony himself. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:5312/1*9_BYGEEq-4_29-FY2lWIZg.jpeg" style="height:2988px; width:2400px" /> The bar from has a different feel just because of it’s location. “We cater to a different crowd. It helps that we’re not on Court Street, we’re around the corner. We also have a symbiotic relationship with Casa, and we’ve built a community.” There isn’t another bar owner quite like Tony Sylvester, his upbeat attitude and humorous demeanor resonate throughout the bar. On March 26, Tony will celebrate his 34th year in business. But his focus has never been on the money, it’s about the people he’s around. “He’s a man who will look out for his people,” the bartender said. “I don’t have a single bad thing to say about him.” His management style and personality are a model for how a bar should be run. <a href="https://medium.com/@Tyler.Prich/tony-sylvester-a-tavern-owner-for-the-people-23288ee84ffb">Click Here</a>
