Bars and restaurants innovating to deal with dine-in closure
There are tables in parking lots, on sidewalks and all kinds of various scenarios to comply with B.C.’s public health orders banning indoor dining until at least April 19.
Businesses with patios have made maximum effort to open early, offer heaters and blankets, and those without patios have swung into action to create spaces for their customers.
At the Prestige Vernon Lodge, the covered drop-off area for hotel guests has been converted into an extension of the patio for Don Cherry’s Sports Bar, and The Kal Hotel has made a similar effort using fences and canopies. Just a few examples of the dozens of eateries and bars that have made adjustments.
