MINNEAPOLIS - The Fehrenkamp brothers were excited to reopen outdoor seating on their pub's patio on Monday , when Minneapolis began easing Covid-19 lockdown restrictions - but before that could happen rioters set their restaurant ablaze.

The Iron Door pub, located about half a mile from a police station, paid the price of the protesters' anger on Friday night. 'THIN ICE' "This is at least three months' rebuild," said Daniel Fehrenkamp, adding that Minneapolis tradespeople are overwhelmed with work because of widespread riot damages. Their pub had been closed for two months and was only able to start offering take-out service for three weeks, thanks to a federal Paycheck Protection Programme loan.

In order to avoid the same fiery fate, Jack McCrery - the owner of Zoe Bakery Cafe, just 100 yards away - has been spending every night in his restaurant.
