NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - When bars across the city closed Thursday at 11 p.m., they will remain closed until Ash Wednesday.
On what is normally the busiest weekend of the year for bar owners and staff, many are frustrated, but see no other option.
“Today’s weather is not helping out, but that’s par for the course for 2020,” Jeff O’Bryon said.
