As Seen On Louisville Courier Journal
Written By Bonefish Grill | Published on June 15, 2021 at 5:34 am
After a little more than a year of hunkering down with masks and social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, we are finally getting back to normal or what used to be normal, just in time to celebrate Father’s Day.
Restaurants are now back at 100% capacity as Gov. Andy Beshear has lifted the mask mandate. If you still are not feeling crowds, carry out is still available. So, here’s how you can celebrate Father’s Day and support local restaurants.
