The luck of the Irish ran out last year on St. Patrick s Day, normally one of the busiest times for bars and pubs. March 17, 2020, was the first day of a two-month-plus-long COVID-based lockdown in Colorado, which closed restaurants to in-house dining and made bars that couldn t come up with some way to serve food strictly verboten. Just a few days earlier, Denver s annual St. Patrick s Day Parade had been canceled, though incautious revelers still packed bars in trendy neighborhoods that weekend (since social distancing and group- gathering rules hadn t yet been imposed in the state).

There must be a minimum of six feet of space, or three feet of space with barriers, between parties.

We can all agree this year has brought challenges like no other. Whether at work or home, COVID-19 has affected us all in some way. The year also changed the Gaston County restaurant scene. Some spots permanently closed their doors after serving the community for many years. And many new restaurants embraced the tough business climate and opened despite state and county stay-at-home orders and new, rigorous standards for cleaning and sanitization. In this story we look back at the restaurants that left us this year, and we celebrate the restaurateurs who brought their concepts to Gaston County in 2020.
