Paschall Bar and Andy’s Basement are closed temporarily after some employees walked out and claimed management denied requests for wage increases and additional security, according to viral social media posts.
A former employee posted via Instagram the demands employees wanted including increased wages and security that management allegedly refused.

“A little over a week ago, employees of Andy’s Bar (Basement and Paschall) met with ownership to discuss much needed changes, including wages and security measures to keep our bartenders safe,” Ariana Bernard, who didn’t respond to requests for comment by Thursday afternoon, posted on Instagram.
“Ownership not only refused to meet our demands for a living wage, but also decided that closing the bar completely would be a better idea than taking care of their staff. Radical Hospitality, the owners of Andy’s, plan to close all floors for the foreseeable future until they can find entirely new staff who they’ll be able to exploit, no questions asked. “
