MUSKEGON, MI – Chatter and laughter once again filled Lakeside Cafe, 46 Bar and Marine Tap Room as people flocked to the popular Muskegon establishments on Monday, Feb. 1.
For Gregory Baker, a long-time Marine Tap Room regular, hanging out with his friends at the bar like he used to “feels more like normality again.”
“I’m excited to be back and be able to socialize again,” Baker said.
Last week, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced that restaurants and bars could reopen indoor dining Monday albeit with 25% capacity, a 10 p.m. curfew and other COVID-19 pandemic protocols.
