Pierce and Miller just got their certificate the first week of October and plan to reopen soon. In August, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission created a loophole allowing bar owners to apply for a food and beverage certificate under the condition that food and merchandise must make up at least 51 percent of the bar’s total earnings. “At least now Governor Abbott has given the approval to reopen, but then he gave the final approval to our local county judges, and so Clay Jenkins in Dallas has said ‘no,’ he will not allow bars to open, they’re literally killing our businesses.” said Pierce. Now, seven months deep into this pandemic, Pierce and Miller will be the first to tell you when it comes to economic fallout, bars like the Round-Up have been some the hardest hit businesses. Since they took ownership, Pierce can’t remember a single weekend the bar had been closed before the pandemic shutdown. Pierce is proud to remind anyone that the Round-Up’s not only a popular destination spot for Dallasites but also attracts visiting stars like Willie Nelson and Lady Gaga, just to name a few.
