Curbside service is still available, and will remain available as long as there is demand, the owners said.
Outdoor dining creekside will also remain open as long as the weather allows. They are also still working with DoorDash and GrubHub on delivery options.
“So if you prefer to eat outdoors, we've got you covered,” the owners said. “Plenty of covered areas in the case of a light rain, TVs for the game, and our full menu is available.”
Live music will also continue creekside, as the weather allows. A schedule of outdoor shows can be found on their website. Indoor shows will resume at a later date as the Jug Handle Inn continues to reopen safely.
