Well, we reopened some of the restaurants for a bit, then shut the indoor portion of the bars (which is probably a bloody good idea). Now don’t get me wrong, I love sipping booze at the bar, which anyone will attest. But frankly, it seems like any bar I looked in was either dead with nobody there, or packed with a bunch of morons practicing no social distancing and spreading germs around that would likely go on to kill some more folks a few weeks hence.

So I updated the list of local places with the information I have been able to glean about who is open with seating and who is takeout only still:

Support Your Local…

I know of only two places so far that have announced they are closing up shop. Dolores whose fish tacos were the best is not planning on reopening and is trying to figure out what to do with the space. Ollie and the adjoined Cream and Crumb, also announced they will not be reopening, but they plan to turn the Cream and Crumb space into a Record Store / Bar called The Wax Bar… or so the rumor goes.

So raise a glass of what you have. Then buy something from another local joint in the hopes that they can survive this.
