"Dive bars face many obstacles during a pandemic with tight quarters, a lack of outdoor seating, and the fact many are in old buildings without pick-up windows or floor to ceiling windows to increase circulation. But the owner of Innertown Pub, a 37-year-old dive in Ukrainian Village, hoped to cling to a lifeline by opening up a six-table patio. However, a neighborhood group is trying to quash the idea, crippling the business." - Ashok Selvam
