As we told you not too long ago, Brooklyn is now home to a bar that has faux bullet holes in the wall, and that offers drinks like a 40 Ounce Rose.

The bar's owner, Becca Brennan, as you might have expected, has come under fire for these aesthetic and creative choices. At best, she stands accused of commodifying the borough's troubled past for present profit.

Residents of Crown Heights, the neighborhood that Brennan's bar, Summerhill, is in, met with Brennan late this week in order to dialogue and to vent, Gothamist reports.

Brennan was given a chance to speak, and to explain why she felt the holes and her menu were not problematic.

As far as the bullet holes are concerned, Brennan said that people were simply too quick to jump to conclusions.

"Some people would say, 'Are those bullet holes?'" Brennan said, "And I never once to a person said, 'Yes, those are bullet holes.' They are obviously holes from anchors in the wall. That's where the soda fridge was when the bodega was there, okay?"

She said she kept the holes in the wall because "I think it looks nice."

In trying to explain why her initial press release referred to the wall as being "bullet hole-ridden," Brennan apologized. But not for her copy.

"I'm sorry I have a sense of humor," she said. "I was alluding to the fact that people asked if those were bullet holes and I was more trying to focus on the fact that I was keeping the integrity of this one hundred-year-old building, and trying not to cover up the history of my neighborhood and that corner."

In advertising the holes and the 40s, she added, "There was no ill intention, there was no malice. And there was offense taken and I immediately apologized that that offense was taken."

Brennan then attacked her attackers, "You wouldn't leave me alone after that and it wasn't enough. You moved the goalposts," before saying that she wasn't going to plaster over the holes.

Residents were less than impressed with what Brennan had to say.

Crown Heights resident Charles Joyner took the floor after Brennan's remarks and asked point-blank: "Do you have remorse? That's simple and straightforward: yes or no?"

Brennan dodged the question, responding, "I'm very sorry that you were offended."

Another resident, DJ Xander Points-Zollo stood up after Brennan's response and said, "There's two kinds of apologies. There's, 'I'm sorry. What I did is offensive. Now I apologize.' Versus, 'I'm sorry that you got offended.' One of these is sincere and one of these isn't. And what I feel like we are hearing is the latter."

It wasn't just Crown Heights' citizens of color who expressed their anger and disappointment. 

A 60-year-old white man named Michael Klein gave Brennan a piece of his mind.

"Let me tell you about humor," Klein said. "Let me tell you about what's funny. Because this is not just some idle joke or somebody that's got some quirky sense of humor. This is humor like … people gathering around trees pointing at people hanging there, and saying, 'Wow, that's funny.' This is humor like Birth of a Nation and looking at people in black face."

Shouts of "He went there!" reported emerged from the crowd, as did a wave of cheers.

Even Brennan's elected official took her to task. Crowns Heights Assemblywoman Diana Richardson called Brennan out on her body language, and had strong words for what she perceived as willful callousness on Brennan's part.

"The truth is, your words say one thing but your body language and your attitude speaks very differently to us," Richardson said. "The holes on the wall is offensive. People have died in this community. There's nothing about the architecture to protect, you know?"

Richardson then asked, pointedly, "Do you get it? Are you trying to get it? Are you willing to get it?"

There was yet another roar of approval from the crowd following Richardson's remarks.

A few residents spoke out in tepid support of Brennan.

"It takes a good deal of courage to even walk up to a crowd that's shouting in your face, so, thanks for that," said Rusty Zimmerman.

And resident Edmund Welch said, "What I do see … is a bunch of protesting and noise making and disruption of business. The type of thing I've grown to appreciate in the neighborhood."

The meeting was organized by district leader Geoffrey Davis. He closed the meeting by saying he wasn't sure what his next move would be, but that after hearing from residents and Brennan herself, that he would "sleep on it."

He has since told Gothamist that he plans to push for Brennan's bar to be shut down if she does not fix the holes and make an effort to be a more sensitive member of the community.

Brennan, for her part, remains defiant. When asked after the meeting whether or not she thought Summerhill could survive all of this controversy, she replied, "Yes. My supporters are at my bar right now waiting for me."
