CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago non-essential businesses like bars, restaurants and liquor stores are actually getting extended hours under the new state-imposed COVID-19 mitigations that start Friday. The city first announced new restrictions last week to combat the COVID-19 surge seen here and across the state. Those restrictions included shuttering all indoor service at bars without food service, all liquor sales ending at 9 p.m. and all non-essential businesses closing from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

However, under Governor JB Pritzker's mitigations, the city is extending those hours. While all bars and restaurants, regardless of food service, are not allowed to operate indoor dining, all non-essential businesses now must be closed from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. That allows restaurants and bars that can no longer offer that indoor service an extra hour of outdoor operations each evening.

The city is also modifying its liquor curfew to allow on-site or to-go alcohol sales at bars and restaurants until 11 p.m. Some bar and restaurant owners have said they feel unfairly targeted by the city and state's COVID-19 mitigation efforts, and are demanding to see proof from the state that they're causing the surge in coronavirus cases we're seeing.
