DBA Owner Ray Deter Critcally Injured In Bicycle Accident

June 28, 2011 By Jay Brooks

I learned this morning that Ray Deter, the owner of the d.b.a. beer bars in New York City and New Orleans, was critically injured in a bicycle accident last night in New York. That information comes from Tom Peters of Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia.

Although not mentioning Deter by name, DNAinfo, a local news website covering Manhattan has the story. According to Tom, Ray “was struck by a car while he was riding his bike back to DBA last night.” He is apparently in critical condition at Bellvue and the prognosis looks very grim.

My heart goes out to Ray and his family at this difficult time.

    Everyone at Mugs Alehouse is praying for our friend Ray to pull through of this unfortunate incident and have a speedy recovery.

    I was just on the phone w/a mutual friend who has been visiting at Bellevue. The news is not good. Ray was a friend of mine pre d.b.a., a great guy. If you are the praying kind, now might be a good time to do so.
