Restaurants in Virginia can open their bars to customers for the first time in more than a year thanks to a sudden, unannounced change that came late Wednesday afternoon â but patrons may want to hold off on immediate plans to belly up to one: many Richmond restaurant owners say theyâre not yet ready to open theirs.
The bar seating change came via an amended executive order signed Wednesday afternoon by Gov. Ralph Northam and allows restaurants to use their bar seating with 6 feet of distance between partiesâand 6 feet between bar seats and other seating, such as bar-area tables.
