After weeks at home, some Wisconsin residents wasted no time in visiting local bars Wednesday night.
"First thought, we flipped it right into the parking lot," Matt Griffin, a customer at The Buzzard's Nest in West Allis, a Milwaukee suburb, told CNN affiliate WTMJ."And yeah, we've got to get in and have a first drink."Katie Koutski, a customer at the nearby Limanski's Pub, was just glad to relax with her friends and blow off some steam.
Customers were greeted at the door with a sign that asked them to sanitize their hands upon entry, and to stay two bar stools apart, unless they're from the same household, the station reported. Regardless, Koutski said she wasn't concerned about contracting the virus in the bar. "I don't think the risk presents any higher than me going to a grocery store or me being out in the community in any other sort of way," she told WTMJ.
