WHY THEY SAY WE’RE SO FASCINATED. WITH ROYALTY. THAT’S MONDAY AT 10. WELL, YOU’VE HEARD
OF SOMETHING CALLED MOTHER’S DAY
BRUNCH. WELL THIS NEXT
RESTAURANT IS DOING A FATHER’S
DAY BRUNCH, COMPLETE WITH PRIME
RIB AND A GREAT CRAFT BEER
SELECTION. THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU
WOULD LOVE IT. MICHELLE OLIVER
IS TAKING US TO WOODHAVEN TO
DINE IN THE D AT BEER HAVEN.
DELICIOUSLY CRISPY, BRO. STED
CHICKEN, MOUTHWATERING PRIME RIB
AND ICE. COLD BEERS ARE JUST
SOME OF THE REASONS PEOPLE FLOCK
TO BEER HAVEN. WE WANTED TO MAKE
FOOD WE LIKE TO EAT, WHICH JUST
KIND OF WHERE WE CAME UP WITH
HALF OF THE MENU HERE. FRIENDS
KEN CALLOUS AND MARK LUZARDO ARE
THE OWNERS GREW UP TOGETHER. WE
WENT TO MIDDLE SCHOOL TOGETHER
ON SO WE’VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR
FAR TOO LONG. WE’VE ALWAYS HAD
THIS SAYING ABOUT US IS MARK
MAKES IT HAPPEN. I MAKE IT
BETTER. SO I THINK THAT’S WHY WE
WORK TOGETHER. WELL THIS IS
ACTUALLY THE PEARS SECOND
RESTAURANT. THE FIRST IS BEER
COLOR, AND TAYLOR KIND OF
REACHED OUR MAX POTENTIAL OF
YOUR COLOR. WE HAD A GREAT CREW
, AND WE FELT IT WAS TIME TO

MARKS, LIKE GET IN THE CAR. HE
BROUGHT ME OVER HERE. IT WAS
FOUR WALLS THAT USED TO BE A
VIDEO RENTAL STORE. WE HAVE THIS
BLANK CANVAS. AND WHAT DO WE DO
WITH IT? SO WE JUST THOUGHT A
LITTLE MORE MODERN, A LITTLE
MORE UPDATED. PIERRE KELLER
MEANS BEER CELLAR IN GERMAN, AND
THIS IS NOT THAT IT’S TWICE THE
HEIGHT. IT’S GOT BEAUTIFUL
DAYLIGHT, SO WE’RE LIKE, HOW DO
WE DO THIS WITHOUT CALLING IT A
BEER CELLAR IN THE CITY OF
WOODHAVEN? SO WE DECIDED WITH
BEER HAVEN WHILE THE MENUS SHARE
SOME SIMILARITIES, THEY ARE
DIFFERENT CONCEPTS. BEER, KELLER
. IT’S OUR GERMAN THEME, AND I
CERTAINLY DON’T WANT TO SAY
WE’RE STUCK TO THAT THEME, BUT
WE TRY AND CATER TO IT. WHERE
HERE IT’S MORE AMERICAN FLAIR,
MODERN, UPSCALE BAR FOOD SO WE
CAN’T DO ANYTHING WE WANT. WILL
