How Coronavirus Is Impacting the Detroit Food and Beverage Industry | Eater Detroit

"An intimate Irish bar that usually depends on the busy March–May season, Donovan’s Pub was effectively frozen in time after March 16, 2020, when indoor service was ordered closed; owner Shannon Lowell had the bar fully stocked for St. Patrick’s Day and Parade Day but saw no strong reason to reopen at reduced capacity. I noted that Donovan’s — which sits in the shadow of Michigan Central Depot in Hubbard Richard and abuts the historically Irish neighborhood of Corktown — is the kind of place where people go for a beer and a shot rather than showy cocktails, making to-go drink sales unrealistic and the health risks to staff too high to justify reopening." - Eater Staff
