I had the displeasure of witnessing one of them ( the woman) engaging in an argument with an employee at the entrance to the building. Of course she didn't pause for a moment - ( especially not to greet a patron). Why would she? She acted disinterested in me, a long standing customer of the front door, the first time we encountered each other. She sucks! Oh, excuse me, I'm actually a former customer now. There are too many cool places to go downtown to pad the pockets of these egocentric fools. The new owners of the front door are unfriendly and standoff-ish.

If Shane had such a skilled touch, why was he fired? Maybe in corporate America you fire people that are doing well? I am just going to enjoy sitting back and watching as Whitney destroys this place from the ground up. The new manager is Whitney from the Reef (Shes the GM up there, and now the Front Door).

Along with no people skills. I personally have been sitting at the bar in the Front Door when this gem of an employee showed up, and was so passive aggressive with the Front Door staff that I almost got up and left. Keep in mind that at this time, this gal had absolutely NO business with the staff of the Front Door. Now this is the peach that will be managing the Front Door. The new owner fired Shane, who had more beer knowledge than anyone I have ever met. He's actually a "brew master." Shane and Alex built that business from the ground up- they were given crap to work with from Krick, and still managed to make that place a huge success. The new owner owns Legends out by Edwards, and if you've ever been in there, you know that the staff has no customer service, and a lot of attitude. So apparently this owner is just a seeing dollar signs, instead of building a great business with a great staff. Stand up for downtown Boise, and take a stand against these huge slum-business owners. BOYCOTT THE FRONT DOOR AND REEF! What is angering about this whole situation is that the new GM, a girl from The Reef, has absolutely NO beer knowledge. Along with no people skills.

I will give proper credit to Shane for imparting his skilled touch in the whole process! In passing the torch, we have much work to do to continue it's evolution.

Shane being fired isn't Krick's fault, the new owner fired him, and he hasn't told us why. Reef sold with the Front Door, and the new owner is combining the staff, and management, meaning that the Reef management stayed and is now the front door management. A lot of our regulars have concerns about the new owner not keeping the format. As of now, we have been told that absolutely nothing is going to change....

Isn't the Reef still part of the Krick group? The way employee speaks of the new management sure sounds like Krick!!!! So what’s the deal,”employee” seems to think Dave Krick is behind this.

Mainly because of the clusterfuck that is occurring for the servers. I don't think having new managers that don't know anything about the beer we serve is conducive to our business. The worst part is the new manager (the reefs gm) has been picking fights with servers and staff at the Front Door since Krick brought her on, she doesn't care about the Front Door.

He says in his e-mail that another person had bought the Reef & Front Door. What does the firing have to do with Dave Krick? I say kudos to Dave Krick for finally selling those places. He never should have opened them in the first place. ;) I don’t understand the first reply. He says in his e-mail that another person had bought the Reef & Front Door.

The Reef & Front Door were under new ownership when this particular unceremonious torching of talent occurred. We create enough of our own bad press... some of which we deserve, and some of which is at least slightly misconstrued... Let's allow the new owners of Reef to generate their own press if that's what's going on here. Kevin Kelpe Well…

It will be hard for Dave Krick to find a qualified replacement that he hasn’t already dumped. Shane, if it is any comfort you are in good company.
