Krystin Olinski, a PR rep for the brewery and restaurant located at 2601 E. 2nd Ave. in Ybor City, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that Coppertail is limiting its capacity to 18%, which is just 64 people.
Coppertail, like other restaurants in Florida, is allowed to operate at 50% under Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “Full Phase One” reopening orders, but Olinski said ownership feels more comfortable with 18% occupancy.
A press release says Coppertail’s other strict reopening guidelines include:
- Table service only, with no bar service other than picking up to-go orders
- Hand sanitizer stations throughout the brewery
- Regular disinfection of restrooms and dining areas
- Guests escorted to a table by a host
- Masks or facial coverings worn by staff while interacting with others
- Credit card only payments, no cash accepted
The brewery’s new, updated hours are 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sun.-Thu. and 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Fri.-Sat.
