UPDATE: March 18:

Desert Rose Pizza and Gastro Pub announced in an email on March 18 that they will be closing “until all restrictions have been released for the safety of our staff and guests.”

“As you all well know our facility is huge and functions primarily off huge groups, parties, music and events. We cannot survive on take-out, online or minimal allowance for guests at one time,” the statement reads. “It is not in the best interest of our beloved community, families, friends and staff to remain open.”

As of March 18, Starlite Lounge and Kimmyz are remaining open.
