LANCASTER, N.Y. — The Village of Lancaster's mayor has extended the suspension of permits for outdoor dining through July 30.
This allows restaurants and bars in the village to provide outdoor service without a permit, as long as they follow several guidelines.
Restaurants and bars can’t play music through speakers or have live music outdoors, nor can they have an outdoor bar you can walk up to.
They have to cap patrons at 20 seated people, and the outdoor space has to be on their property. Hours of operation of an outdoor eating area is limited to 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Outdoor facilities can be used only for customers; no bars for alcohol will be permitted.
They also must comply with all federal and state executive orders.
