What's Inside: Minneapolis Regulatory Order on Bars Special Pricing Ends Tomorrow! Upcoming Online: Allied Network In the News

Minneapolis Regulatory Order on Bars

We were surprised by the Mayor’s order and feel it paints too broad a brush, penalizing businesses that are operating within the guidelines. This action creates another difficult challenge for establishments that continue to be fragile in the wake of the long closure and partial reopening. It’s clear this is a difficult time in determining how best to balance public health with business health. Closures of any sort add further challenge for businesses and their employees to be able to make ends meet.

The official order and an FAQ were released late yesterday: City of Minneapolis Emergency Regulation 2020 ER2020 Frequently Asked Questions Media coverage on the issue included: Mayor Frey orders new restrictions to reduce crowding at Minneapolis bars | Star Tribune Minneapolis mayor issues order closing indoor bar areas, dance floors at drinking, dining establishments | KSTP Mayor Jacob Frey Announces Bar Areas Must Close Again Due To COVID-19 Spread | WCCO News
