Bartenders out of work are left to figure out what's next.
; restaurants have been restricted to takeout and delivery to help impede the spread of the novel coronavirus. Bars closed outright. The moratorium, originally set to end March 31, was extended last week to April 19.
“It’s like the bar industry was an Etch A Sketch and someone just picked it up and shook it,” said Banah Winn. He had worked as a bartender at Tabula Rasa for seven months. “I think all of us who work in bars have been living in a delicate place. The majority of us don’t have a lot of savings. [Things] just got very real.”
Sean McBride poured drinks at Big Bar for 10 years while pursuing a career as an actor. “Both industries I work in have been shut down by the current crisis,” McBride said. “My wife still has her job at the moment, so I’m feeling less anxious than some of the other bartenders. Some don’t know how they’re going to pay the rent next month.”
