DENVER, Colo. â Vaccine passports a document proving youâd had your COVID-19 vaccine arenât widely accepted across the country, but for one bar owner, itâs how he believes he is keeping his business alive and his customers safe.
Bar Max in Denver, Colorado prides itself on being a warm, welcoming space for craft cocktails, good conversation and community. âWe don t do screens,â said Bar Maxâs owner Marshall Smith. âWe don t give out the Wifi password.â

Durham Bar Owner Sues State, City, for Damages Related to COVID Closure
Kevin Slater doesnât want his private club, the Atomic Fern, or any bar, to be allowed to reopen right now. But heâs pretty mad that neither the state, nor the city of Durham, has done much to offer relief to small businesses that have been forced to close, and stay closed, for months on end.
Thatâs why Slater is suing both the State of North Carolina and Durham city government for damages in excess of $25,000.
With a superior court complaint filed yesterday in Durham County, Slater says he hopes to draw attention to the fact that âbusinesses all over the place have been basically ignored.â

Oregon is one step closer to joining the dozens of other U.S. states that allow restaurants to sell cocktails to-go. The Oregon legislature passed a bill Monday that would allow restaurants and bars to sell cocktails and mixed drinks for takeout or through third-party delivery, after months of campaigns and petitions by restaurant and bar workers.
Senate Bill 1801, introduced as a part of a one-day special session, allows bars and restaurants to sell takeout and delivery cocktails, mixed drinks, and single-serving glasses of wine in sealed containers to consume offsite, as long as the customer purchased those drinks with a food item. Those restaurants can’t sell more than two cocktails per “substantial food item.”
