In counties affected by that lumen curfew eat last call its going to come a lot earlier for bars and restaurants. They will be required to close at 10 00pm as kron fours rob fladeboe reports right now from san jose, some bar owners say theyre being unfairly. Singled out. Jails and dreams was its model before the pandemic but doing business now is more like a nightmare for the the popular bar and restaurant here in san joses Almaden Valley serving customers outdoors in keeping with health orders. Those cocktails are served until 02 00am but on saturday that comes to an end when a newly imposed curfew will shut down business at 10 00pm. The curfew is well intentioned, but unfair and misguided says owner tony griffis exactly and thats all thats happening. The parties not because the bars to close its just move into private residences. Where theyre having 5000 people are even smaller 20 people were theres no mask regulations and a lot of people dont believe in the mass. And youre getting super spreader is there. The curfew arrives just as many bars and restaurants for offering limited Indoor Dining other bars dreading the curfew or po st. 55 south.

The brand of loans invested 15,000 in an outdoor tent furniture and other pandemic related supplies. People could see their hours cut back again, tony griffis believes the curfew is counterproductive if the real culprit here is private gatherings that maybe instead of targeting bars. We target costco safeways and liquor stores. And see if we can cut alcohol sales, there so if people do want to get a drink. They have to come to a controlled environment that is safe for them to actually imbibe. Closing the bar a 10 oclock means last call could come as early as 9. 15 as for enforcing the curfew for their part San Jose Police say theyll be taking an approach similar to what they did.
