‘We Were Crushed’ | Annapolis Restaurant Owners Disappointed With Gov. Hogan’s Decision To Keep Indoor Dining Closed

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) — Gov. Larry Hogan’s Phase Two of the Maryland Roadmap to Recovery Plan does not include the opening of indoor dining at restaurants, but they can continue to offer outdoor dining or curbside pick.

In Annapolis, Main street, Maryland avenue, West Street and Market Place were closed to cars so that people can dine outside and still practice social distancing.

“What you’re seeing right now has never happened in downtown Annapolis,” Brian Bolter, Co-Owner of Red Red Wine Bar, said.

The Shoots family said this has been a long-time coming.

“First time we’ve been here in two months, so it feels like it’s brand new,” the family said.

Many people turned out to grab a bite to eat Wednesday, as they sat outside and enjoyed some live music. But restaurant owners said they want customers to keep in mind this only serves about 20 to 25 percent of its business.

“We were crushed today that the governor didn’t come out and give us limited capacity indoor seating,” Bolter said. “We all thought that was part of Phase Two.”

  4. Should NOT be allowed into anyplace after this - especially here on the shore. Plus his parking rate at the inlet needs to double.
