DETROIT (FOX 2) - The Marble Bar in Detroit is requiring proof of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine or a negative test to enter the venue.

The bar said that this decision was made due to the Delta variant.
"We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause; however the safety of our staff and patrons is paramount to us," the bar posted on Facebook. "As an establishment aiming to bring people close together, we feel it is our duty to limit transmission and proliferation of COVID-19 in any way possible so that the party can continue."
