2020 has been a difficult year for restaurants. A few weeks ago we released a list of restaurants that have closed since March 17th.(not necessarily due to Covid, but since the day the initial restrictions were put in place).

While that list is long, there are still plenty of restaurants planning to open in MoCo in 2021.


Clear Skies Meadery, located at 325 Main Street in the Kentlands, is preparing for its soft opening in just a few days and we had the opportunity to stop by and check it out.

Clear Skies Meadery will have it’s soft opening on March 13-15 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) from 5pm-8pm) and every Friday, Saturday, Sunday at 5-8pm for now, until the grand opening on Friday, April 3rd at 5pm (ribbon cutting ceremony at 3pm). Days are subject to change, so make sure to give them a follow to remain updated.


The small, family-owned and operated Italian food market has gained popularity for their Italian subs and other products that are prepared from scratch in their kitchen.

In addition to its market, Gemelli’s has a small, casual seating area where you can enjoy subs, calzones, pasta, beer, cannoli, gelato, and more.
