An Indiana bar is begging customers to come back after telling them they weren't welcome for speaking out against Dylan Mulvaney's Bud Light partnership.
The Fairfax Bar & Grill in Bloomington issued three statements to their patrons since weighing in on the controversial partnership that launched April 1.
Initially, the bar backed the partnership and claimed on April 11 that, 'any patrons wanting to voice their concerns about the issue will be immediately asked to pay their bill in leave.'
The bar's April 11 post in length read: 'We are tired of all of the hate.
'We are very open to debate and discussion and it's truly a shame that we can't have open conversations about this important political and cultural topic.'
'Bars, in our opinion, exist as public spaces where ideas should be exchanged,' read the post.
'Unfortunately due to all of the bigotry and hatred that has surfaced around the Bud Light controversy any patron wanting to voice their concerns about the issue will be immediately asked to pay their bill and leave our establishment.'
The establishment has since walked back on its statement and claimed on Thursday that workers 'will not censor opinions.

I may go Tuesday.
Probably I will ask for a Bud Lite just to make the waitress laugh her ass off.
This bar needs to go under.
A 10 or 15% decline in customers could accomplish this.
Let’s make it 99%!
Well I applaud them for taking a stand...now they have to live with it.
Go woke, well. you know...
Not back when you told people they weren't welcome there if they had a different opinion.
Agreed. But most restaurants actually run on pretty slim margins.
Used to be companies stayed out of politics. They seem to have forgotten why.
Fairfax Bar & Grill can go, well, you know.
They have chosen poorly...
How is it possible for a for the manager of a sales establishment to be that stupid. It is incomprehensible.
All he had to do do was sell the beer his customers asked for.
“We do not and will not censor opinions, but we do require civility in this establishment.”
It’s a DAMN BAR, which means it’s likely noisy and smelly, so expecting people to behave like William F. Buckley and his guests on Firing Line is a bit much.
This bar owner needs some MAJOR PR help if he wants to stay in business. Needs to do things like have dart-throwing competitions at Bud Lite cans.
This reads like the script on a prime time cartoon show.
Family Guy or South Park.
“Hey! Where you guys going? You know I was just joking, right? Have a seat. Next three drinks are On The House!”
And then you will say, no not really. Bring me anything not offered by AB-InBev. Right?
ESAD Minniefield lying piece of Schiff.
“bigotry and hatred”
You mean against normal people, who know the difference between a man and woman and refuse to live in the pretend world of the left?
At my watering hole. Union & King Downtown Memphis after driving straight thru from Detroit this morning. Half the folks at the bar are drinking AB products.
Ordered a Bud. No problem.
Then again why would there be.
I guess the gays and lesbians didn’t pack the bar
“’Bars, in our opinion, exist as public spaces where ideas should be exchanged,’ read the post.”
No, they don’t think this at all. In fact, their reality is the reason for this whole article.
I can’t stand when people do this.
2. Does it seem like the paragraphs were randomly assembled? The was less connection to chronological order and cause and effect than in a time travel movie.
