Many eateries are asking customers to wear masks when not seated at a table or are requiring reservations be made in advance.
Per restrictions put in place by the state of Michigan, restaurant and bar staff are required to wear masks while groups of customers must be spaced six feet apart to follow social distancing standards.
Many restaurants and bars in downtown Ann Arbor are also anticipated to extend their dining services into closed streets after June 12 thanks to a recent resolution passed unanimously by the Ann Arbor City Council.
We're excited to welcome you BACK to our dine-in & patio spaces today! 🥤☀️
Staff and customer safety continues to be our top priority; we have a few of our own guidelines in addition to the state of Michigan's, please check them out here: https://t.co/rTlRIFVRtZpic.twitter.com/kcx5eFpJMO
