Gov. DeSantis suspends all Florida bars and nightclubs for 30 days

Gov. Ron DeSantis is suspending all bars and nightclubs in Florida for the next 30 days starting at 5 p.m. Tuesday night.

DeSantis made the announcement during a press conference Tuesday morning. The governor says “reducing density, reducing crowds” is the best thing the state of Florida can do right now.

Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz further clarified DeSantis’ directive, saying that all the bars in clubs in the state will be shut down at 5 p.m. on Tuesday and will stay closed for the next 30 days as the state works to limit community spread of the coronavirus.

Revival comment – We were actually ahead of the curve and shut down all operations last night at 10 PM. We did not need a government mandate to notify us it was not safe to stay open for the public.

Federal Bar comment – FYI Federal Bar will Remain Open. We are classed and zoned as a restaurant as we have a full kitchen! Come on down and support our staff this week and weekend

Lakeland Loft comment – I regret to inform you that the Lakeland Loft will be closed for the next 30 days in accordance with Gov. DeSantis’ announcement this morning. We hope that you will take this time to ensure safety of your families and loved ones during this difficult time. We greatly look forward to serving you as soon as we can!
