When it seemed that some downtown establishments were taking advantage of loopholes in COVID-19 protocol, East Nashville bar The Fox spoke publicly about the need to recognize (and not penalize) smaller establishments that were playing by the rules. Their effort initially inspired NewsChannel 5 to run the headline “Small Bar Upset About Being Closed,” which the bar playfully repurposed into branded T-shirts. On top of that, the bar has been slinging incredible cocktails and small bites (don’t sleep on the frozen cookie dough!) curbside for the majority of the pandemic, offering much-needed normality and hospitality during an unprecedented time.
