🌟 Employee of the Month: Patty Lasley! 🌟

Please join us in celebrating Patty Lasley, our August Employee of the Month! Patty has been with Ernie’s since day one, serving as our bar manager extraordinaire. She’s the reason the drinks are cold, the bar is stocked, and the chaos stays under control—even on our wildest nights.

Patty brings a perfect mix of leadership, hustle, and heart to everything she does. She keeps our team on track, and our guests happy. Whether she’s jumping in behind the bar or keeping things organized behind the scenes, she’s the steady hand that keeps Ernie’s running like clockwork.

We couldn’t do it without her—and honestly, we wouldn’t want to.

💛 Thank you, Patty, for all you do! Next time you see her, raise a glass and give her the shoutout she deserves. 🍻
