In March of 2020, it was clear that COVID-19 was here to stay for a while. Restaurants, venues and bars were all told they needed to close down for a period of time to slow the spread of the virus. When places were able to open again a few months later, some did, some just didnât reopen at all, and some decided to use it as an opportunity to create something new.
The
Zodiac and the
Triple Nickel Tavern were two very well known places to see regional touring bands and killer local bands, and grab a quick drink after work. When bars were closing down, they both decided to give it some time, get out of the leases they were in and open a new place together that combines the best elements of both venues for something new.
