Pasquales Bar and Restaurant Closed Until About Jan. 8th

As of right now, we will continue to be voluntarily closed until further notice, with a hopeful opening date on OR near Jan. 8th, 2021. At this time, most of our staff is under quarantine due to close contact tracing and we need time to make sure we are all safe. Staying closed, stopping the spread, and making sure we are virus-free is the only way to safely move forward for our customers and staff. Please look forward to our reopening post. Thank you for your support in advance!
