Bierock recently received a Christmas present, so to speak.

For the first time in about six months, Bierock can host indoor dining effective immediately.

Please, spread the word. Our survival as a business may depend on it.

Not to get too much in the weeds, but Bierock was previously categorized as a tavern and not a restaurant. All taverns in Dane County are closed for indoor dining, whereas restaurants can have customers limited to 25% of capacity.

Bierock was last open to indoor dining in early July. We continued to operate with a focus on takeout, delivery and outdoor dining since that time.

All rules that apply to other restaurants will likewise apply at Bierock, including maintaining six-feet distance between customers and wearing masks when not actively eating or drinking.

Bierock will also follow a sanitation plan to clean surfaces between customer usage.

After being closed on Christmas Day, Bierock opens at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday Dec. 26.

Bierock is located at 2911 N. Sherman Ave., part of the Northside TownCenter and across the street from Warner Park.
