By 12:30 a.m. Friday, four dozen happy bar-goers were scattered among
the outdoor picnic tables at Lee Harvey’s in the Cedars, from clusters of six
to solo visitors sipping on Lone Star beers at the iconic Dallas dive, face
masks slung around their necks.
On Friday, people reconnected with old friends and old haunts as Texas bars, wine tasting rooms and craft breweries were
allowed to reopen as part of Phase II of Gov. Greg Abbott’s
plan to reignite the state’s economy after the pandemic-driven shutdown, and
Lee Harvey’s hadn’t waited a minute too long, unlocking its gates just after
the stroke of midnight.
Andrew Kennedy of Allen was among the first to arrive, making the 35-minute
drive to support what he called "one of the pride-and-joy dives of Dallas."
