Brooklyn Bar Derails Martin Shkreli's Happy Hour Plans

After a securities fraud hearing in Brooklyn Federal Court on Friday, "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli reached out to Twitter for bar suggestions near Brooklyn Heights. He ultimately decided to head to Henry Street Ale House for a "fan meetup," and promised his Twitter followers: "Drinks are on your boy."

Shortly after sending out this invitation into the digital ether, the team at Henry Street Ale House replied to the pharmaceuticals kingpin: "You did not contact us to reserve the space and your ‘fans’ are not welcome." The Tweet has since been deleted, but the management further communicated that they did not have room for Shkreli and his posse at the bar:

The Turing Pharmaceuticals founder decided to switch gears and invite his fans to the nearby Brooklyn Public House. After catching wind of Shkreli’s impending arrival, the bar shared this update:

Shkreli still managed to make it into the bar and mingle with the regular people.

Gothamist notes that some Shkreli fans tweeted angry messages and dropped critical comments on Henry Street Ale House’s Facebook page. The bar later thanked its fans for the support:

A rep for Henry Street Ale House tells CNN: "This has nothing to do with politics, but this is a controversial figure... We're a low-key place, we needed advance notice."
