In Nevada, most bars that don't serve food have had to shut down per Governor Sisolak's recent directive. But a few are changing their business models to do take-out service, which is still allowed even with the recent restrictions.
At Packs and Pints, the original plan was for the bar to make money the old fashioned way, with in-person service and take-out adding extra revenue. But now, that's flipped, and to-go is the only option. They've gotten a permit to use growlers for beer and mixed drinks. They've also added wine and hard alcohol bottles to take-out as well. Customers can also order specialty beers, and mix-and-match 6 packs. Management says they're hoping to use the variety and adaptability to make up for the income lost from bar-top business, due to recent restrictions.
"The biggest reason we wanted to bring in a large amount of products, is so we can accommodate a large variety of different patrons. Everyone has a different palate. So we want to increase and benefit the community the best we can," said Packs and Pints General Manager Jacob Gruesen.
Packs and Pints is also looking to add coffee to their take-out options as well.
