FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WFFT) — A popular sports bar on the southwest side of Fort Wayne says it will reopen its doors to the public days after being shut down by the local health department for several violations of Indiana's COVID-19 safety guidelines for businesses.

"Following extensive conversations, meetings, negotiations, and having fully cooperated with the Allen County Department of Health, Mitchell’s Sports and Neighborhood Grill is set to reopen on Friday, December 4, 2020," a lawyer for Mitchell's Randy Fisher said in a release.

Fisher says Mitchell’s has agreed to "closely follow and adhere to Governor Holcomb’s COVID-19 Executive Orders, along with the Allen County Public Health Order" as they reopen on Friday night.

He believes that the 14 complaints made against Mitchell’s "were in fact falsely made, either to purposefully disparage and/or harass and embarrass Mitchell’s, their Owner, and members of their staff."

Mitchell’s has a seating capacity for 435 guests.

Mitchell’s is asking its patrons to adhere to wearing face masks inside their building when not eating and/or drinking and maintain social distancing requirements will be marked throughout the facility.

Mitchell’s has a seating capacity for 435 guests inside its 15,000 square feet facility as well as an outdoor patio area.
