CINCINNATI (FOX19) - The doors at Arcade Legacy: Bar Edition in Northside won’t be opening again anytime soon — if at all.
The bar’s owner, Jesse Baker says it was already a struggle bouncing back after being shut down for months. Now, with Gov. Mike DeWine’s order barring alcohol sales at bars and restaurants after 10 p.m., Baker explains there’s no way he can keep his doors open.
“It’s definitely been a big struggle for us,” Baker said. “It’s been a worry for our family, just to see if we can even survive and pay the bills. We’ve definitely had to sell some of our belongings to make rent.”
Arcade Legacy: Bar Edition is a unique hangout with pinball machines, arcade games and a console lounge — but no food on the menu to rely on as alcohol revenue dwindles.
The bar only reopened two weekends ago after being shut down due to the pandemic.

Does the virus come out at 10:01 pm and attack you on your bar stool? Dewine is a POS.
If I let myself think about this, I get absolutely enraged. DeWine is a little POS never Trumper who is ruling as a dictator, with absolutely no personal impact from his stupid decisions.
What DeWine is doing is unethical at best, possibly illegal, but no one in the power structure in Ohio will challenge him. Furthermore, the media has convinced a substantial number of Ohioans that DeWine is right in what he’s doing, and they should obey at all costs.
FUMD
I am sorry to hear that.
We have a few brave legislators stepping-up and challenging Tom Wolf’s overreach here in PA. Likely not enough to stop him, but they’re fighting.
According to our elite intelligent governors like Phil Murphy, yes
NJ still has the 8 pm curfew, cause the virus only comes out at night
I didn’t know viruses could tell time.
Youngers don’t get to bars until around 9 pm. Then stay late.
Olders are more worried about getting C19 and have been avoiding bars.
DeWhine must exert more control over youngers; lest they dare think they’re immune from gov social control.
Do you have a link to the curfew because Gov Woodchuck said there never was a curfew?
No more stupid than closing the beaches or chlorinated swimming pools.
Does the virus like UV light? Salt water? High temperatures? Sand? Nope. What do people at a beach naturally do? Spread out.
Where do you think you’re more likely to get this virus, at a local grocery store, or a swimming pool where you can smell the chorine in the air? Hell, that pool is probably one of the more safe places to be!!!
Why are we closing some of these things? Because you need to do something! Blind action for the sake of taking action and things where you have a fake moral objection to them or where people are happy and partying during these depressing times must be banned. We must all bow our heads and wear our masks together. But what do you think, will public schools open soon? You bet. Because with all those single moms and dual income households there are few politicians that will stand it the way of that.
Now you have mask Nazi’s. Businesses all trying to CYA and do things that are absurd but create the appearance they did something.
Politicians that take action just so they show leadership in crisis. But it’s mostly idiotic and in many cases literally counter productive, i.e. Quomo ordering Covid positive old folks be taken back into senior living homes.
This is so stupid it is embarrassing!
What is fascinating to me, is how extreme this “herd instinct is.” How fast and dynamic things are and how little is actually based on science and numbers.
Ronald Reagan once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
We need to close every Starbucks!
These places are dangerous.
Close them NOW!!!
Incremental control ........
I am really disappointed in DeWine.
My son worked at a similar arcade type bar in Columbus. He used to love his job. He made good money as a bartender there. He had flexible hours and it that was important because his other job in the entertainment industry required him to travel extensively for weeks at a time.
Now both jobs are gone. The arcade bar reopened mid-June at 25% occupancy allowed. Lots of new procedures and protocols, so it hasn’t been well-attended. So his hours have been severely impacted.
Just last week, he found out that he’s been laid off again. The arcade is barely making it.
This place used to be so popular. It was a fun place to go. The business model was so successful (before CoVid) that the company was in the process of opening new locations in several surrounding states.
Now my son has to look for a new line of work. The entertainment industry is kaput, and the bars can’t make ends meet.
We were hoping that he would have enough hours to make ends meet while he figures out his next steps. He’s not the type to sit behind a desk, either in the classroom or the workplace.

I wandered into the local Wal-Mart yesterday. When the gal at the front door asked I wanted a mask I just smiled and said no.
While I was there I saw just about everyone wearing a mask. Two people were even wearing those full face shields like the coroners wear when sawing into bone.
Fauci the faux must be so proud of himself.

***With fads or social movements like this, there are ALWAYS social stigma’s attached to those the refuse to play along, i.e. today you get the label: reckless and irresponsible, unpatriotic or if in leadership unprofessional.***
If you don’t wear the mask, you risk being ostracized, fined, and/or getting a label tattooed to your forehead.
Well all businesses have to close at 8 pm, cause the virus comes out at night
An no “unnecessary” travel after 8
Sounds like a “curfew” to met
Is it really being enforced? Not really
Your big box stores of course are following it though
“If you don’t wear the mask, you risk being ostracized, fined, and/or getting a label tattooed to your forehead.”
I will wear the label of Heretic with pride. Along with my label as Deplorable.
Perfect when it comes to CV19,
Or, does this just shows how deadly, no diabolical, this virus is. It can sense a Trump rally or wedding, church service and infect everyone there at. But it has been mutated to have a PC gene that allows it to be “woke” so as not to infect a BLM protestor. Yes, diabolical.

Well,
At least you won’t get burned at the stake, so I suppose that’s some progress. LOL
People in groups create rules, some necessary, some BS.
Today there is a lot of BS (Society is disconnected from the natural order of things, ignores basic economic principals and the nature of man). But there are still consequences attached for violating those these BS rules.
“Today there is a lot of BS (Society is disconnected from the natural order of things, ignores basic economic principals and the nature of man).”
In the past people formed groups for survival.
Those groups probably started as extended families working together to guarantee safety from predators and other family groups and to see that all were fed. Their rules were few and simple. The penalties were harsh: most likely expulsion from the group which meant death, either slowly from starvation or quickly by predators.
Those groups became clans and tribes with similarly simple rules and penalties.
It was when those clans/tribes became settled societies that survival became easier and people found the opportunity to impose more rules.
The larger and more settled the society the further from death by starvation and predation the populace became. For some reason they found the need for MORE rules.
We are at the point that relative safety is assured and no one is starving. We are living in a time which actually requires few rules but in a cruel twist our politicians impose hundreds of new rules on us each year. Then there are the unelected “enforcers” (the “Karens” of the world) who love nothing more than telling the rest of us how to live.
