Broadway Oyster Bar in downtown St. Louis was buzzing with patrons on a recent evening. The venue has live music scheduled for nearly every night this month.
Officials in St. Louis and St. Louis County began relaxing pandemic restrictions on entertainment venues this week. But clubs and theaters won’t be filling up with patrons anytime soon.
Until this week, venues had been limited to 50% of their usual audience capacity. (That percentage was lower earlier in the pandemic.) St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones and St. Louis County Executive Sam Page
issued a joint order Monday removing the cap, as well as lifting an 11 p.m. curfew and a limit on large gatherings.
