All Bars & Restaurants Have To Close By 10:00 PM In Monroe County On New Years Eve
Written by Site Hub on December 31, 2020
This year, all the restaurants in Monroe County must close by 10 pm on new years eve, regardless of whether or not they’re in the orange zone.
Unfortunately, New Years Eve is historically one of the busiest nights for bars and restaurants and many are already in dire straits.
Blu Wolf Bistro is in the orange zone and is only open for take out. Jason Snyder, CEO of Blu Wolf gave his two cents on the matter:
“Our normal New Year’s Eve, great time, we have people in for dinner, we do a champagne toast at midnight, we’re full, everyone’s happy celebrating a New Year and that’s just not the way it’s gonna be this year.”
At the Whiskey River Pub & Grill in Charlotte, things are closer to normal. They are only in the yellow zone, so they can still serve guests that would like to dine-in.
Manager David Harrison said they’ll have to continue limiting tables to four and closing early
“Normally on a New Year’s Eve I would be running two bands, I’d have one downstairs, one upstairs, I’d have two full bars going with four bartenders working,” Harrison said. “I’m thankful that we’re at least open till 10 p.m. because right now across the city there’s over 400 bars and restaurants that are completely closed.”
