LOOK: People Sitting at Bars!

After being off limits for more than a year, bar seating was allowed to resume on Monday, May 3.

Some local bar owners have documented their patrons enjoying being back at the bar again, while others are hoping Instagram posts of shiny taps will bring them back.

So if you’ve forgotten what bar counters look like, or if you just need a subtle push to support your local pubs, enjoy!
