    Dagan Migirditch has a lot to say.The co-owner and co-founder of Portsmouth's beloved Liars Bench Beer Co., Migirditch is a restaurant veteran, an avid reader, savvy businessman, and advocate for leaving the Seacoast better than he found it.And now with 10 years of Liars Bench under his belt, Migirditch believes he and his co-founder, Dane Nielsen, are only now achieving what they set out to do as two broke 28-year-olds with a dream a decade ago. In his return to "Seacoast Stories," the UNH graduate joins host Troy Farkas to discuss an array of things, like how he and Nielsen met at UNH, why they decided to go into business together, Migirditch's fond experiences of working in the Portsmouth restaurant scene 15 years ago, his thoughts on the current makeup of downtown Portsmouth, favorite memories from 10 years of Liars Bench, and why, despite a well-documented recent decline in alcohol consumption, he believes establishments like Liars Bench are vital for our happiness as humans.Plus, how Liars Bench is pushing back against I.C.E. raids in Seacoast restaurants, and why he believes it's his duty to speak up for those who can't speak up for themselves.OH ... and Dagan reacts to comments sent his way by angry social media followers 😂To support Dagan, you can visit Liars Bench Beer Co. in the West End of Portsmouth seven days per week.
