Does anyone else feel like we’ve hit the point of quarantine where a n y t h i n g out of your daily “routine” is the most exciting thing ever? The bars I paid visits to this week are all about service with a side of fun, which they’ve since adapted to "The COVID Times" while staying true to their identities. At the core of these two different bars is the same fighting spirit, and an openness to collaboration. We’re by no means out of the woods yet, but my hope is that the f&b industry emerges on the other side with stronger bonds than ever; spearheaded by local gems like these who understand that despite the individualistic values this country tries to drill into us, we’re better together.
