🚨 ATTENTION: CLEARING THE AIR & PUTTING THE RUMORS TO REST 🚨
Following a post on Jay’s personal page showing the vandalism to our sunroom windows, we want to address some of the talk going around town.
Jay wrote this update to clear the air and make sure everyone has the facts straight. He originally posted that video on his personal account just to show his friends what we’ve been dealing with, and didn't realize how far it would spread.
First and foremost: Anyone suggesting another local bar had anything to do with this is completely off base. It’s ridiculous.
Amherst has a tight-knit history. Many of us spent our younger years rotating through the classic local spots—Thursday nights at Teazers, Friday nights at the Elm Tree, Saturdays at Legends, or hanging out at Dooleys.
When Rod Wilson took Dooleys over, he turned it into an incredible nightclub and the absolute most happening spot to go to in town. Even though we lost Rod to cancer quite a few years ago now, he was truly one of the best guys ever, and he built a legacy here in Amherst we still talk about today.
Out of respect for guys like him and the community we all share, there’s absolutely no bad blood among the businesses here. Our fellow local owners would never do something like this.
Here is the actual truth of what happened:
❌ The Windows: We know exactly who did the vandalism because we have the minors on video.
❌ The Wiring: We know exactly who is responsible for our wiring, and we know exactly who they are.
That’s all there is to it. The post yesterday was just to show the damage and let people know we see what's going on.
👀 To everyone driving by to check on the place for us:
We see you on the cameras and we truly appreciate you having our backs! Thank you for the support. 👊💪
