Local businesses proceed with caution after latest order

Today marks a full month since bars were allowed to reopen in Kentucky. And in that same timeframe, they’ve already been told to close once again. Bourbon Barrel Tavern co-owner Stacy Reynolds says that Monday’s news did come as a shock. 

Reynolds says the bar will operate this way as long as the closure lasts. Which, he says, might be longer than 2 weeks. 

The closures went into effect last night at 5 p.m.
