These Batavia Restaurants Are Now Open For Outdoor Dining

BATAVIA, IL — More than two dozen Batavia restaurants have opened outdoor seating areas, taking full advantage of loosened restrictions to get back to business. The entire state moved into phase 3 of the Restore Illinois reopening at the end of May, allowing restaurants and bars to reopen with safety precautions.

If approved for a temporary outdoor-dining permit, restaurants will be able to use a portion of their parking lots for al fresco dining areas, which must be located at least 6 feet from public sidewalks. Tables must also be at least 6 feet from each other, and parties are limited to no more than 6 people.

Batavia Mayor Signs Order To Expand Outdoor Restaurant Seating

Restaurants must install fencing at least 3 feet high if the areas encroach on parking areas or alcohol will be served, under an executive signed last month by Mayor Jeffery Schielke.

Customers will be allowed to drink alcohol in the new outdoor areas, but cannot leave with open containers. Outdoor entertainment is permitted if it does not interfere with neighboring properties.
