Brandi Oliver

Owner

Brandi Oliver, the dynamic owner of Turf Bar, brings a wealth of experience from her background in the hospitality industry. After acquiring the iconic Turf Lounge in 2017 and rebranding it as Turf Bar, Brandi leveraged her expertise to transform the venue into a modern hotspot. With a kitchen added in late 2018, her culinary creativity took off, resulting in a renowned bar food menu and unique private event offerings in the Mullet Room. The positive response to her food led to the launch of catering services, and with the completion of a new catering kitchen in 2024, Brandi and her team are now poised to handle custom and larger offsite events with the same dedication and flair that define Turf Bar.
