“#Defiant NYC bar reopens despite COVID-19 restrictions<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A Staten Island bar that has declared itself a COVID-19 restriction \u201cautonomous zone\u201d was back open for two hours on Friday night, in continued defiance of its suspended liquor license and despite one of its owners\u2019 arrest just three days prior.<\/p>\n

Dozens of customers crammed into Mac\u2019s Public House before it shut back down for the night at 10 p.m., flouting state restrictions against serving customers indoors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tried to sit down and be diplomatic with city and state officials; we had a meeting with the sheriff today,\u201d co-owner Danny Presti told freelance reporter Oliya Scootercaster as bargoers shuffled in and out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt did not go well. They\u2019re just showing they\u2019re not willing to work with us,\u201d said Presti, who was arrested Tuesday. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to get our livelihoods back. And we\u2019ll see where that goes. We haven\u2019t been able to pay the utilities,\u201d he added. \u201cJust everything\u2019s piling up. We\u2019re just scraping by.\u201d<\/p>\n

City Department of Buildings vacate orders from Tuesday were still taped to the door on Friday night. <\/p>\n
