Bristol, UK. 5th November 2020. Many pubs, bars, and restaurants in Bristol have completely closed their doors to the public on the first day of Lockdown 2 in England this evening with the city's streets eerily quiet. However, several bars and restaurants are serving takeaway drinks and food in accordance with recent rules. Initially, the government made it clear that lockdown 2 would see a ban imposed on businesses selling takeaway alcohol. However, this ban has since been overturned and customers will now be allowed to order takeaway pints from their local pubs.The new rules require customers to pre-order drinks online, by phone or post. They can then collect it directly from the pub as long as they do not enter the building.
