Right before an Ohio restaurant temporarily closed its doors because of the state’s rising coronavirus cases, a customer stepped in to buy a $7 beer -- and left a $3,000 tip for the staff on his way out.
On Sunday, Brendan Ring, the owner of Nighttown in Cleveland, Ohio, posted about the generous tip on social media.
According to the post, the customer ordered his drink right before Nighttown closed for the night. Sunday was also the restaurant’s last day before it temporarily closed.

Ring said that after the man paid for his beer and handed back his credit card slip to Ring, the customer “wished me well while we sit out our voluntary shutdown.”
The man also told Ring to share his tip with the wait staff. According to Ring, there were four people working that day.

“Unbelievable but symbolic of the kind of quality folks we have know at Nighttown all these years,” Ring added. “I could post his name but I won’t as I think he wouldn’t want that but all my waitstaff and myself [are] humbly grateful for this incredibly kind and grand gesture.”
