Two bars in Waterloo are among several throughout Iowa facing punishment for not following pandemic rules, according to KWWL. The Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division has Knights of Pythias – Furgerson Lodge #5 and Edo’s Sports Bar on their list of offenders. Knights of Pythias allegedly opened the business to the general public on or about September 9 when it had been ordered to be closed. Edo’s failed to ensure at least six feet of physical distance between each group or individual, failed to ensure that all customers who were served alcoholic beverages were also served food, and/or failed to ensure that all patrons were seated at a table, booth or bar while consuming their food and beverages. Bars in Iowa City, Council Bluffs, and West Des Moines were also implicated.
