Gabrielle Ellison, the owner of the bar, told Fox 44 that her business is “not going to make it”:

Ellison says the risk of staying closed outweighs the risk of any virus. Even if it means potentially getting in trouble with law enforcement.

“The possibility of losing my license – heartbreaking. But they’ve already taken my income,” said Ellison.
