The coronavirus pandemic means St. Patrick s Day won t look the same this year as it has in past years, but there are still plenty of places around Fayetteville planning celebrations.
On Feb. 26, after being closed for indoor seating for nearly a year, bars were allowed to reopen indoor seating at 30% capacity and last call for alcohol sales was extended from 9 to 11 p.m.
