Ventura County Bars, Breweries May Open Outdoor Operations w/ Food Service
Ventura County has issued a new
Public Health Order, effective immediately, authorizing bars, pubs, brewpubs, breweries, and other businesses licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on their premises to open
outdoor operations if the offer sit-down, outdoor dine-in meals (food trucks are acceptable). Like restaurants, however, they must still close
indoor operations. Alcohol may only be sold in the same transaction as a meal. Wineries and wine tasting rooms may open outdoor operations even if they do not offer sit-down, outdoor dine-in meals.
These businesses are all also subject to the following local requirements:
- Only members of the same household may sit together at a single table
- The maximum time a patron may stay on the premises is 90 minutes
- Bars are closed to the public between 10PM and 5AM
