For two months last spring, Jamie Minotti and Mark McLarry kept the doors closed on their new San Marcos restaurant-brewery complex My Yard Live because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, the partners and their staff survived the shutdown, thanks to a CARES Act federal loan and expanded unemployment benefits.
But this time around they may not be so lucky. On Monday, a new state health order restricted San Diego County restaurants to takeout-only service in a bid to keep people home during the alarming surge in COVID-19 hospitalizations. But carry-out service was only a fraction of sales at My Yard Live, an experiential family-friendly venue with a fenced children’s playground and an outdoor concert stage. So Minotti and McLarry decided to shut down for now in what they are calling an indefinate hibernation.
