Coronavirus: NSW pubs with restaurants can open on Friday, for ten people at at time

Pubs and clubs attached to a restaurant can reopen across NSW this Friday.

Nine News can reveal that Treasury has given the green light for the premises to open for 10 people.

Other rules in the state are being eased at the end of this week, with cafes and restaurants also allowed to welcome 10 patrons, so long as proper social distancing is observed.

Pubs were closed in March, and while some have been open for takeaway food and drink, many shut their doors altogether, devastating the industry.

Treasurer Dominic Perrottet's office confirmed the move, and confirmed alcohol could be served with meals at tables.

"Restaurants and cafes in pubs and clubs will be able to open across NSW from Friday so long as they adhere to social distancing requirements and limit customers to 10 patrons per venue at any given time," a spokesman, said.

"Bars and gaming facilities will remain closed, however table service for alcohol with a meal will be allowed. "Takeaway services can continue to operate as at present."

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced the easing of rules, as part of the first stage of the lockdown lifting, earlier this week.

Other states have already gone further, with the Northern Territory allowing pubs to reopen on Friday, with social distancing measures.

South Australia has taken its first steps on the long journey back to "business as usual".

Cafes and restaurants are allowed to have 10 people dining outdoors.

But many are still struggling under the ongoing limitations, with Premier Steven Marshall pledging work is underway to loosen restrictions further, including for bars and pubs there.
