I have seen multiple bars open this weekend. Are they not supposed to be closed for two weeks? Is there some loophole I'm not aware of or are they just defying the governor?

This fucking pandemic is never going to end.
I went past Old Lou Brewery Saturday evening. It was full. They only serve potato chip bags. They even allow dogs inside because they are NOT a restaurant. It is down the block 300 feet from LMPD. Clearly they are aware, just don't care.
Micro-brewers, wineries and distilleries were exempt from the order.
By the state of Kentucky, that is a brewery, not a bar. They are in the business of brewing beer.
I did not know that. Seems illogical and some sort of favoritism. Their beer sucks hard anyway.
Which makes it even more troubling! Production facilities with hospitality attachments... shudder
Good for them. Enter at your own risk!

If they have set tables that are socially distanced and they acts as a restaurant (aka no standing around), then there really isn’t a difference between these bars that sell food and a restaurant
Only freestanding bars.
Be specific.
There are bars that are still open!?! Name them, I will personally go there and address with the bartender on duty.
Fuck the governor, and his order...
You don't wanna go, don't... But the rest of us are sick of being held hostage..
So you are going to hold the rest of us hostage and help kill people because you wanna do what you want to do? How about you try not to be a selfish asshole instead?
Found the bootlicker
You should call the police on them Karen.
I'm asking the question. I'm not calling the cops.
I'm not calling the cops.
Are you sure? This whole thread makes it seem like you are a peak "Karen".
The state has different operation licensing protocols for different establishments, bars, restaurants, breweries, etc etc which has been explained to you multiple times in this thread, but you are refusing to listen.
Its KeystrokeCowboy. What did you expect. If I didn't know better I'd think they were a troll or parody account TBH.
No loopholes you just aren’t aware of what qualifies as a bar under the EO
Diamonds? Gerstles? Highland Tap room? Flanagans? River City Drafthouse?

Which part of this exempts these places?
All operating as restaurants - just because they have "a bar" doesn't make them "a bar"
That's not what I was saying. Just because a bar serves a few items of food, doesn't make them a "restaurant", either.
Wrong. A food license and food service makes you a restaurant according to the state. Your own semantics don't matter.
All these places have kitchens that serve food correct?
As well as kitchen workers that are no longer receiving unemployment.
They are not restaurants. Those are straight up bars. Here is how you can tell, nobody brings their kids there for a meal. And I'm pretty sure Gerstles doesn't serve food at all. Are you saying if a bar has a kitchen, it's no longer considered a "bar" and is now deemed a "restaurant"? That's just fucking dumb.
Take it up with Beshear if you’re that upset about it. But I can guarantee you that deciding what qualifies as a restaurant by the amount of kids that eat there is actually fucking dumb
They just advertise imaginary brunch and burgers then?
I agree with you on principal that these places are primarily bars but I've definitely seen people bring their children and eat during the day at the taproom, Flanagan's and rcd

I know I'm late to the party on bashing you in this thread but I wanted to show you the link to Gertles menu on Yelp They do serve food it just typically is hard to get when their bands start playing.
I agree with what you are saying overall, how it should have been handled is all restaurants should have to close around 10.
