Nemos, the popular eatery in the historic Corktown, closed for the holiday weekend. It will reopen on Monday.
It's an unusual move as the pandemic has slowed business and halted the Detroit Tigers season.
"We'd be playing Kansas City Royals," Patrick Osman at Nemos said. So, full house I hope."
Corktown is a popular location for fans to pregame.
"The uptick of people being downtown is there," Osman said. "It's just not back, yet. It's going to take a while."
On Wednesday, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive order closing indoor service at bars throughout most of Michigan to protect Michiganders as the number of COVID-19 cases is increasing.
