Bars

The Ark-La-Tex has a rich history when it comes to bars and nightclubs.

Governor John Bel Edwards is encouraging operators of Louisiana restaurants, bars, catering companies and other food-related establishments to register for the U.S. Small Business Administration's new Restaurant Revitalization Fund.

As our state inches closer to a full-on re-opening, we may be closer than we think to seeing nightclubs in our area reopen.

In separate resolutions today, both Caddo and Bossier Parishes are allowing bars to increase their capacity to 50% occupancy.

3 more North West Louisiana parishes have met the criteria to move to the next level of re-opening

It may seem like a first-world kinda problem, but someone actually researched this!

Bars in West Baton Rouge Parish are having to close after reaching COVID-19 positivity rates above the State of Louisiana's limits. All on-premise consumption has been stopped until the percent positivity rate drops below the 5% mark for two weeks.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell announced yesterday that other changes will include an increase in the number of people allowed at indoor gatherings from 50 to 100.

As you have no doubt seen/heard this week, Louisianans are NOT happy about John Bel Edward's extreme stance against Louisiana bars.

The governor has doubled-down in his war against bars in our state this week, with more restrictions that will lead many businesses to make incredibly difficult decisions.

The good news is that Governor John Bel Edwards has altered Phase Three's guidelines in regards to alcohol sales. The bad news is that it's almost a slap in the face to the industry.

As the Governor's war against Louisiana bars and nightclubs continues, we get a rare look on the front-lines as the ATC shutdowns Junkyard in Monroe.
