Randy Fitzgerald was out on the patio at Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St. He said he enjoyed the event.
"I thought it was a great expression of their willingness to get involved," Fitzgerald said.
Sitting on the patio yesterday afternoon and enjoying a beer with friends, Fitzgerald said he sympathized with the protesters' concerns over the large retail chains downtown.
"I'd rather have trees over there and people have to go to Kansas City to go to the Gap," he said.

Chris Kellogg, who lives with Strano and Desmond, said he agreed that downtown has more to offer Lawrence residents than shopping options.

Gayed said plans often mislead consumers into thinking they're buying more minutes than they actually receive.
"Look around. It took me several months to find a good deal," Miller said. "It's not worth the money. You can usually find a better deal."
"Be very careful," Gayed said. "Take someone with you when you go buy a cell phone. Read all of the information."
Jennifer Miller, Lawrence freshman, said students should be patient when shopping for service plans.
Consumer Reports also recommended that consumers have a trial period written into their service plan before they commit to it.
Williams said that students shouldn't be afraid to ask questions. She brought a list of questions to ask the sales associate and has called him twice since buying the phone.
Williams said her trial period would last three months. She can switch plans or cancel the service within that time if she's not satisfied.
"I just asked every question you could think of," Williams said.
