All tests negative, The Barrel House to reopen Tuesday

The Barrel House craft beer destination in downtown Dayton — which had closed temporarily late last week after a family member had come down with a fever after incidental contact with someone who had COVID-19 — will reopen Tuesday, Oct. 13 after all employees and their immediate family members tested negative for the virus, the shop’s owners announced on the store’s Facebook page today.

“We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, love and support,” Barrel House’s owners wrote. “With that said, being closed on Friday and Saturday (our two busiest days of the week) was a huge hit financially, during a time where we are already struggling. Our shelves are still packed full of last week’s arrivals and we need to sell it in order to get more new stuff in. We hope to see you this week!”
