Quebec Bars Can Start Serving Alcohol For An Extra Hour
New rules for festivals also come into effect on August 1.
Quebec is loosening some public health regulations on August 1, meaning that, starting at 12:01 a.m., you'll have an extra hour to order alcohol at Montreal bars.
As of Sunday morning, Quebec bars will be permitted to sell alcohol until 1 a.m. rather than midnight. But they must still close their doors at 2 a.m.
\u00c0 partir du 1er ao\u00fbt, d\u2019autres assouplissements entreront en vigueur pour les salles de spectacles, les festivals ainsi que pour les heures de service d\u2019alcool des bars et microbrasseries. \n\nPour plus de d\u00e9tails http://quebec.ca/deconfinement\u00a0pic.twitter.com/yW3xFUP4Eu— Fran\u00e7ois Legault (@Fran\u00e7ois Legault) 1627318992
There are also changes to festival and event occupancy limits that come into effect on August 1.
Outdoor festivals in Quebec will be permitted to host a maximum of 15,000 people — 10,000 more than what was previously permitted.
Indoor events in halls and stadiums will be able to host a maximum of 7,500 people. Both outdoor festivals and shows indoors should have independent sections that fit 500 people each, with their own entrances and exits.
