On Monday when Los Angeles County moves into the next tier of reopening guidance, bars without food service can begin pouring drinks again some for the first time in more than a year.
“There’s no two ways about it: It’s really tough,” said Brett Winfield, operations director for hospitality group Pouring with Heart. “I would say that beyond Prohibition, there’s been nothing more challenging for bars specific, without food ever happen.”
Winfield and his colleagues operate nearly 20 bars in Los Angeles, including the Varnish, Bar Clacson, Las Perlas and the Normandie Club, and nearly all have been closed since June. Now that L.A. bars without food can start to reopen, he says the beverage group can finally plan its return.
