Rival's Comment Irks Barnacles' Patrons On Day Of Closing

The owner of another local sports bar posted on the Barnacles Facebook page, and not everyone thought that was such a great thing to do.

When Barnacles sports bar announced that it was closing down after 15 years in the Brandon area, a lot of people took to Facebook to share memories of the iconic spot. Eighty-two people have posted comments on the thread on the Barnacles page.

As Barnacles gets set to close on Thursday, Aug. 15, do you think the post by Zapps owner Stacey Hatjioannou was out of line?
