Nashville Mayor John Cooper announced Thursday that bars and limited service restaurants may open at 50 percent capacity, thanks to steady gains against a COVID-19 outbreak that led to widespread business restrictions this year.
The new restrictions, which take effect Friday, allow for up to 50 patrons per floor at Nashville's multi-level bars, including the popular honky-tonks along Lower Broadway. Outdoor spaces such as rooftop bars or patios will also be open to up to 50 people or 50% capacity, whichever is lower.
Bars and restaurants can remain open until 11 p.m. under the new rules.
"I know some people believe we are moving too fast, and some people believe we are moving too slowly," Dr. Alex Jahangir, chair of the city's coronavirus task force, said following Cooper's announcement during a news conference outside Nissan Stadium. "These steps strike the proper balance."
The eased restrictions come as Cooper and city leaders also announced plans to allow limited numbers of fans at upcoming Titans games, as well as the return of high school football.
