From the city council to the local residents, and everyone in between, the response, says Scofield, has been overwhelmingly supportive.

#OTTER GAY BAR SAN DIEGO UPDATE#
The Delta Wave Has Arrived: Here We Go AgainĮater will update this story as more restaurants and bars announce requirements around vaccinations. Whether this entitled behavior will hit Philly is yet to be seen. Many businesses are still asking guests to wear masks upon entering, but this next phase of the COVID-19 pandemic could be a divisive one, as businesses requiring proof of vaccination in other cities have seen an uptick in negative Yelp reviews and threats of lawsuits. Though the bar is still closed, Lê tell Eater that he and his staff agreed that they should wait a little longer until it feels safe to reopen. There were initial murmurs that proof of vaccination would become a likelihood in the Philly restaurant industry in May when the owner of Hop Sing Laundromat, who goes by Lê, said that when his bar reopens he will be requiring proof of vaccination for guests to drink there.

Now, as of August 11, all businesses must either require guests to wear masks indoors or provide proof of vaccination to enter. Cheryl Bettigole attributed this recommendation to the increase in delta variant cases and a “small but disturbing” increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations among children in Philadelphia, as children under 12 years old are not yet eligible for the vaccine. At the time, Acting Health Commissioner Dr. Martha, Irwin’s, and Musi BYOB’s decisions come only two weeks after Philly public health officials said that they strongly recommended that everyone - unvaccinated and vaccinated - begin wearing masks indoors again. With the COVID-19 delta variant continuing to spread, and only 62 percent of Philadelphians fully vaccinated, more bars and restaurants are sure to follow. A representative for Musi BYOB in Pennsport confirmed that it would be requiring its guests to be vaccinated, too. Shortly thereafter, Irwin’s - Michael Vincent Ferreri’s Sicilian restaurant on the roof of Bok building - did the same, requiring all guests and employees to be fully vaccinated before coming in.

On Saturday, July 31, Kensington’s favorite hoagie and pickled veg destination Martha announced on Instagram that it would be requiring guests to provide proof of vaccination in order to enter the bar.
