Whether Palm Beach County’s COVID Education and Compliance Team will take action is unclear. The photos — and additional evidence obtained by BocaNewsNow.com — do suggest the violations are verifiable and that restaurant personnel looked on as patrons violated rules and guidelines.

    Whoever took these pictures need to get a life. As if the hospitality business hasn’t been hurt enough. Obviously, the person who took this picture doesn’t have to work in this industry and know what a difficult time this has been for them. No one forced these people in the picture to be out. Stay home if you don’t feel safe. Shame on you Boca News for posting such a potentially hurtful picture for a local business.

    ED NOTE: The business should be shut down for permitting this to happen. We are sure that Palm Beach County officials have seen the photos and will take appropriate action. Even if individuals can’t be fined, businesses can. We look forward to reporting when Biergarten gets fined for violating executive orders in effect, and more importantly, common sense.

    I just had a kidney transplant and I can’t just sit and stare at 4 walls, what I can do is wear a mask just like everyone one should. I am in an industry where my job was shut down we still were masks as not to give anyone we care about a possibility of catching Covid. I love this restaurant but I can’t go if this is the situation. I literally just lost a friend because of this virus. You want to tell her family she shouldn’t have been out? This virus is real. She wore a mask. It can be spread from people who don’t wear masks.
