Club Jager protested, closes early on second night back

The note promoting the reopening signed off, "Vielen Dank!," a German expression of gratitude.

The bar's first night back since a staff walk-out was scheduled to run from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. Asked early that night if the bar would stay open later, or if it had any customers at that time, manager Josh Portwood declined to get into specifics.
