North Park Lounge gets creative with outdoor dining
With outdoor dining being so important for restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic, owners had to get creative to make their season last longer through the colder weather.
Enter, dine-in greenhouses.
North Park Lounge in McCandless installed the little houses back in September that line the front of the restaurant providing a safe dine-in experience with a twist.
“We were worried if the virus would spike this fall/winter that some of our customers would be afraid to come inside our building even though our tables are six feet apart," owner ____ said.
“Our management team came up with the idea to use small greenhouses. Once I found some on the internet we thought they would be perfect!”
There are eight structures total seating four guests per greenhouse, and they are hoping to use them through most of fall and winter. They even have twinkle lights that come on as the sun sets, which is perfect for the holidays.
