Big or small business if the bar, the ones that are part of a restaurant, are not enforcing the social distancing guideline then they live with the results of their non-compliance.
Could not be any more simple. |
I was very concerned about the lack of social distancing at this very place last Tuesday. If we want to keep things open, and get our economy going, we need to act responsibly.

They weren’t alone. About ten days ago the bar a Cane Garden was two deep all the way around, not a mask in sight. Back to the old normal. Villagers are too old to be immortal.

A less self-serving look at the statistics show that it’s pretty deadly to seniors, and it’s a horrible death. Those that do survive are almost certain to have debilitating permanent damage to lungs or other vital organs.
What’s the average age in The Villages? |

The only thing being shut down are stand-alone bars. For instance: the tiki huts at the town squares. They don't serve food there at all. They are bars. As far as I know, the Villages doesn't have any actual bars on any of its properties, so we aren't affected by this change. If you leave the Villages and go to some areas outside, you'll see some bars. Those are closed. |
SUBMARINE, I don't think so.

Back in Ohio
I'm a snowbird who arrived back in Ohio on 6/6. Ohio was pretty buttoned up until that very week. Places opened allowing 50% capacity. Policy was/is to sit down, order a drink and DON'T GET UP AND WALK AROUND W/IT. (Ya, I caught hell.) Problem is in the summertime boardwalk situation (here on Lake Erie) filled w/vacationers, nary a mask in sight. Our numbers are rising here, too, but nothing like Florida. I am a bit surprised Gov. DeWine here hasn't insisted on masking as he has been out in front of the crisis in the past.

Bars are not allowed to serve. Some are saying places like City Fire is a restaurant not a bar. Have you seen the "outside restaurant" of City Fire. Wall to wall.people around the "not a bar" area. They are not eating they are drinking alcohol. Hmmm I must be mistaken thinking it's not a bar.

The order was for bars/lounges. City Fire is a restaurant with a bar. There is a difference.

FMK Restaurant Group owner Fred Karimipour said his eateries will continue to serve alcohol to customers who are sitting at tables but will suspend bar top seating and live entertainment. “We have removed bar service in accordance of the governor’s order,” said Karimipour, who owns Bluefin Grill & Bar in Brownwood, The Chop House at Lake Sumter Landing, Belle Glade Country Club, Bonifay Country Club, Evans Prairie Country Club, Orange Blossom Hills Country Club and Scooples Ice Cream Parlor. Gina Buell, who along with her husband, Mike, owns the City Fire restaurants in Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood, said she was doing the same thing. She said her customers still will be able to order drinks when seated at tables inside and outside the eateries but not at the bar area. |
I assume the the walk up kiosk bars in the town squares would fall under the closure guidelines. That very well might derail the planned re-opening of the town squares.

People may call it what ever they "think" it is or should be.
However the restaurants that do have an outside bar....that is exactly what it is.... a BAR!!!! Just because it is part of a restaurant does not allow seating shoulder to shoulder X 3 deep....in violation of the requirement for social distancing. The owners/operators should be held accountable for contributing to the potential spreading of the virus. No comment on those being inconsiderate, sitting shoulder to shoulder X 3 deep at the bar (I am trying to remain as polite as possible) |
If the governor is going to issue an executive order, I think he should have someone write it clearly so that all people with normal intelligence can understand what it means.
|
Big rush to open by at least three Governors have gotten them and us deep into this mess. Now, the backpeddling is on.

I'm sure there were many bars in Florida that never made their customers practice social distancing and never controlled seating arrangements forcing the closure. I've passed by a couple of these very same bars in the villages. They just had to go and shoot themselves in the foot and ruin it for the places that would have opened otherwise. I was surprised it took this long.
|
To clarify.....if a restaurant or bar’s revenue is more than 50% from the sale of alcohol then they are shut down.

It would be funny if not so darn ridiculous. Alcohol kills the virus, therefore drink lots of it to sanitize your insides, out. Just plain common sense....:wine::beer3:
Everyone knows that the spike is attributed to all the crowding during the protests. But, it is not PC to say it in public, because it might offend someone and the politicians will lose their votes. |
I was at a restaurant last night that had the bar area roped off. Still serving alcohol at tables. The waiters had masks and gloves. Every other booth was roped off and tables were at least 6 ft apart.

I suspect that someone will call the department of health one of these days and let them make the decision if it is a bar or not. I don't drink so not an issue for me but I know some that consider selling alcohol an "essential" business.

Really you need to look at statistics . There have only been 7 cases in the villages during the latest out break one from a golf club worker, on at Rohan and non that I have read were from a bar. However if you would read 67% of the latest Florida cases were people under 30. So read more and criticize less

Thank you Chatbrat for your service.
When you abuse you lose! People are just not following the guidelines and this is why we are seeing a resurgence. Also, How the heck were people allowed to protest in the streets or go to George Floyds funeral, when you weren't even allowed to go to a family or friends funeral is beyond me. Sick of all of this! |
It’s all up to you. I just Drove by City Fire, bar stools are against the outside railing not up at the bar but all seats are taken. No social distancing going on at LSL!

Simple Rule
There is a simple rule for those wondering out without a mask and circulating in groups that don't honor the 6 foot rule. Is what you doing worth risking your life which is exactly what it is doing. Our rule is "what you are or intending to do worth risking your life?" Play with words all you want or continue to kid yourself but as they say,, THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE!!:popcorn:
