The bar owner said it could also be a great way to bring in some much-needed revenue for bars that have been struggling with business. Reed said the owner of The Elusive Grape brainstormed the idea and Abbey Bar is also onboard. So, this would definitely help both hopefully the bars and the restaurant side of things,” Bar said.
