Please share these "plenty other options" with us all.

Sitting on Riverside with a can of warm Ganzberg and eating Khmer noodles.

Harry's. Larrys. Exchange. Ostro. Gastro. Metro. Then of course, there is that whole other world beyond riverside that I am sure you have heard about?

A plus for the smaller establishments with less staff. But bars may have to close regardless of size.

Is this 15 max rule going to be applied to restaurant/bars, or is this going to be the rule for bars to reopen?

Most of those bars haven't seen more than 15 people in them for a very long time.

Say that (15 people) in PP Post..... so looks about right

I watched Sizzlers "ask for it". The competent ones went to 118, where they ordered signs off (very few outside), then they spent an age in 130 laying the letter. Everyone was well aware of their no-nonsense presence (they were visible from space). The cavalcade (motorcade, fleet, caravan?) of Z-vehicles then started at the top (CONVOY!) of a block away+ from Sizzlers (Smile), and slowly pervade riverward with blue and red aflicker (I was the one clapping curbside). So, there was enough warning for the accusees to tear the bar down and rebuild it before the 5.0 show. I think it is this act of disregard that is seen as a stance, even a challenge (sing it sisters!), that can't be tolerated for fear of contagion (of complacency rather than "The Vid"), which makes for an ideal example volunteer.
As for "where to go?", it's pretty hard to tell you when; 1)only allowed to keep to a few; 2)t'would need to be somewhere they knew you, and; 3)I wouldn't have a clue (I could guess, but it doesn't rhyme with few). As one of a few, or of one, in the bar, you will get swamped for drinks which, for me, results in a tactical retreat, anyway.
If you decide to wear black and the full-face mask and pathetically walk the streets until you get called in, and obey (which I am against and do not recommend you doing so, as it is unlawful and socially destructive. Such shameful activity should only be conducted as clandestine research and infiltration), think back door. More as an exit than entry. I am thankful to those keeping us safe.
