Nashville Mayor Asks Lower Broadway Bars to Close, Adds Capacity Limits for Restaurants | Eater Nashville

"Listed as one of Smith’s establishments, Rippy’s will operate under the new restaurant guidelines—limiting regular maximum seating to under 50% capacity (capped at 100 individuals) and prohibiting bar standing—and will take precautions to keep staff and patrons safe while the owners work with local officials to minimize hardship to their more than 800 staff and 300+ musicians; patrons were asked to check the venues’ social pages for updates." - Delia Jo Ramsey
