POWELL â Although Gov. Mark Gordon has ordered bars and restaurants to close in-person service at 10 p.m., a Powell sports bar announced Friday that it isnât following the mandate, contending the stateâs rules donât apply to the business.
It appears to be the first open challenge to the public health orders in Park County.
The Red Zone Sports Bar and Grill made the announcement Friday, after being visited by a Powell police officer early that morning.
The officer had noticed the liquor establishment was still open around 12:10 a.m. and reminded a staffer of the 10 p.m. closing time listed in the health orders; the staffer told Sgt. Matt McCaslin they were allowed to remain open and the officer left.
