This week Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf announced he will not extend the temporary order that has banned indoor seating at taverns and restaurants during the holiday season. The order ends Jan. 4.
While this is positive news for establishments across the state, unfortunately the lingering impact on both businesses and employees will be felt as we move into 2021. Businesses lost a key time of the year, while many bartenders and servers missed out on usually very generous tips during the holiday season.
The Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage and Tavern Association urges the Legislature to help fix the financial problems small business taverns and licensed restaurants face as a result of the current order. When the Legislature returns in January, we ask our state senators and representatives to move legislation to provide industry-specific grants.

Despite lifting mitigation that shuttered indoor dining and bars for three weeks, Gov. Tom Wolf warned that the next two big events for restaurants and bars might see the same fate as Christmas dining. The virus is going to be what it is, Wolf said. I think what happens on Feb. 7 depends on how fast the vaccine rolls out. What happens between now and Feb. 7 depends on what we do to make sure this virus does not overwhelm our healthcare system.
Wolf lifted a three week ban on indoor dining, on-site, indoor alcohol consumption and indoor entertainment, effective Jan. 4. Earlier this month, he shuttered the businesses after the number of cases of COVID-19 skyrocketed, with the number of Pennsylvanians hospitalized due to the virus doubling that in the spring.
