Some of the Music City bars were completely empty while others had a band playing for only a handful of customers.
Of the bars that were closed, signs adorned the windows and doors highlighting COVID-19. The message was simple, yet over-explained by some establishments. The wording was similar from sign to sign stating that they were closed at the request of Nashville Mayor John Cooper who had ordered the shutdown after receiving word from the Metro Health Department that closing was the best option to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
In the photo on the top right a sign read, “UPS - PLEASE TEXT BETSY FOR PICKUP, THANKS.”
