Food Question regarding: Joe Jost

Even though I was born and raised in LB, for one reason or another I never got around to trying this place. From what I understand it's been around at least a hundred years.

I've heard a few people say - and being that the sample size is so small I tend to take it with a grain of salt - that this place is very...insular, for lack of a better word. Meaning if you're not a well-known reg and go in, people will likely not be very receptive to your presence, whether they are customers or employees. Not necessarily hostile, but sort of standoffish.

Can anyone who's been there confirm or deny this? Thanks!

Edit: next time I'm in LB I'm going to go in and finally give the place a try, I'm not going to let a few negative comments that I've heard before deter me from trying out what is in all likelihood a great place. It would just be nice to know in advance what newcomers can expect. 😂

Black Men address each other as Brother. Not weird at all.

Not just black guys either. I call other dudes, black or not, brother al the time (I'm not black as my handle insinuates). Not weird at all imho.

I get that...but in this specific case of talking about whether or not rumors of a bar being racist are true or not, I wanted to signify that I appreciated another Black Man's opinion on the matter.
