It's hard to imagine Freebird getting better after one guy with crazy rules sold to another guy with crazier rules. The staff was always on eggshells with most leaving. It has great potential for a lunch spot.

Honestly, I can't remember the rules anymore. One was the way they were or weren't allowed to interact with customers. There were a lot of "rules" with the Marine and Steve is pretty regimental himself. I like both guys, but I found the rules odd.gavinmac wrote:What were the crazy rules and crazier rules?

Come on, you're being coy. You remember something, otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned the rules being crazy and crazier. Spit it out. What was the gist of the rules about interacting with customers?offshoresports wrote:Honestly, I can't remember the rules anymore.

Good about 20 years ago also. One of the only places in town with air conditioning. The original owner back then had strict rules also. Nice guy, a lapsed Morman married to a local. Discouraged staff from mixing with customers. Ran a tight ship. US embassy folks (and especially USMC embassy guards) were regulars there...... Though the owner did tend to frequently go off the rails after closing time (in other bars/ venues).

Yes, the owner was a Marine and had strict rules about mixing with customers as does Steve. They had other rules, but for the life of me, I can't remember. I stopped going a few years back because the food and service started to suffer. Thought Steve would correct the ship, but it got worse. Shame, it was a zillions times better than the FCC and it had a nice mix of people during lunch. Always a ghost town after 5 pm and I think that's because of the location.wolfcreek wrote:Good about 20 years ago also. One of the only places in town with air conditioning.

Well I started a conversation with one of the new servers behind the bar. It was going very well until I noticed everyone looking at us...the bar manager berated her in Khmer and I had asked what happened. She told me she was not allowed to have friendly conversations with the staff, only serve them and she was sorry. I thought she must be joking, but she was pretty shaken by the ordeal. A few months later I had a drink at the new owner's spot and the bartender was cute so I tried to start a conversation, and she stopped me dead in my tracks and said, the owner does not allow me to date anyone from work and walked off, lol. There were a few other odd rules with Freebird, but I can't remember them. Doesn't matter anymore, cest la viegavinmac wrote:Come on, you're being coy.

Steve is a fucking moron, so that's no surprise.offshoresports wrote:Thought Steve would correct the ship, but it got worse. Shame, it was a zillions times better than the FCC and it had a nice mix of people during lunch. Always a ghost town after 5 pm and I think that's because of the location.
