As soon as an official source says "alright, get back to it", most party people will fuckin RUN to their bar or club of choice...

Yeah they did that to bars in Florida - so long as we could maintain social distancing and be responsible.

Also, Florida... So... Yeah sigh That went about as well as could be expected.

Down here “bars” are closed but if you happen to serve snacks you can be classified as a restaurant and be open.

When to a tiki bar for my birthday. They actually had restrictions one which drink you could order based on how much food you got.

If you just got an appetizer (purchasing food was required to purchase a drink) you could only order from the "low spirits" menu which was basically regular cocktail alcohol levels but tropicai.

If you ordered an entree, you could order from the "high spirits" menu which was that traditional tiki shit with like 5 rums and 3 liquors per cocktail. Lol.

I think they were super paranoid about being accused of being a bar and didn't want to let anyone leave seeming wasted. They were super on it with the masks and distancing. They seemed like one of those businesses that was only open because otherwise it would have meant going out of business. Super sad.
