Philadelphia restaurants have had less than 24 hours to react to the city’s new mask mandate. During that time, they’ve had to notify customers and their employees. The decision has not been easy to make.

“We couldn’t put our staff through policing guests any longer,” Attico Rooftop Bar & Restaurant General Manager Stacey Lyons said.

Attico Rooftop’s vibe was interrupted Wednesday. Lyons says they are not reverting back to masking up.
