Started by Michael White 1 year ago
We, the undersigned, stand in support of Mike White and Levels Bar & Grille, a Black-owned local business that has served our community with pride, culture, and care.

Levels Bar & Grille is more than just a nightlife venue — it’s a safe space for connection, celebration, and economic opportunity in our city. Recent city-imposed restrictions unfairly reduce its operating hours, threatening jobs, small business growth, and the cultural vibrancy of our community.

We believe in fair treatment, equal opportunity, and supporting local businesses — not targeting them.

Mike White and his team are committed to safety, professionalism, and being good neighbors. We respectfully ask city leaders and the courts to recognize the value Levels Bar & Grille brings to our community and to lift the unfair restrictions placed on its operating hours.

It is very unfortunate that this gentleman is prevented from operating a business, which he has a license for, at the same level of similar establishments.

Out of all things that's going on in our city this place was not doing any harm toward the community. Truly only place we have to go that's has our age group nights of excitement. No reason this place should be closed due to conversations of others speaking lies. Open it back up this is how Michael feeds his family. His daughter has special care this is how she is taken care of. It's sad that the city closed him down on a her say .

I live in the neighborhood about 1/4 of mile from Levels bar-and-grill. I never had any problems with Levels bar and grill.

I’m the head bartender at Levels, and this place isn’t just where I work—it’s like my family. We’ve made big changes to keep it safe and welcoming. We just need a fair chance to prove it.
