It’s not “goodbye,” it’s “see you later.” That’s the hope for these Fort Worth restaurants that have chosen to cease all operations amid the COVID-19 outbreak, which has forced bars and restaurants to close their dining rooms.

Some attempted curbside pick-up and delivery, even offering alcohol to-go. But many say that take-out dining did not allow them to keep the lights on.

Here’s an ongoing list of who’s gone dark — just temporarily.

While Tim Love’s Italian-inspired West Fort Worth restaurant has closed until further notice (as well as Lonesome Dove Western Bistro), fans of the celeb chef can still order Love’s “Bring Love Home” package online, which includes four heat-and-serve family meals (each serves four) for $150 delivered.
