Mattituck Born Drummer Barred From Eatery Because of Tattoos

Mattituck born Jeff Fab

A drummer originally from Mattituck made headlines recently when he was allegedly denied access to a Denver restaurant because of the many tattoos on his neck.

According to Today Entertainment, Filter drummer Jeff Fabb was headed to Brothers Bar & Grill in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, on Oct. 9, after a show, only to be shut out due to his tats.

Fabb told the Hollywood Reporter that he'd eaten at the restaurant before, with no problem.

According to the Today Entertainment article, the Denver location of Brothers published a response on Facebook, stating that they are not against tattoos. "What the tattoo represents or symbolizes and where the tattoo is located is a criteria to entering our location," the Facebook statement read, according to the article.
