Meet me in the garage bar: During the pandemic, many people have been enhancing their homes to get some break from the monotony during a summer with far fewer options for fun. Enter the latest DIY project.

Michael and Lauren Lerman consider themselves outgoing. That’s why they’ve been hanging out a lot in their garage lately. As the coronavirus outbreak turns life upside down, the South Orange, N.J. couple has turned their two-car garage into a bar.

Garage bars pre-date COVID-19, but this round of bars fit a broader pattern. In the face of the pandemic, many people have been enhancing their homes to get some break from the monotony during a summer with far fewer options for fun. “Congregation at a bar inside is bad news. We really got to stop that right now, when you have areas that are surging like we see right now,” Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told senators on Tuesday.

Teitelbaum used reclaimed wood from a barn, shipping palettes and corrugated metal; the student told MarketWatch he already has a lead on another garage bar job. It’s been open for two weeks and getting steady use. The Lermans’ oldest daughter graduated from high school, but didn’t have a prom and there’s no word on a real-life graduation ceremony. So she had a small party in the space with a couple friends instead.
