Most Nova Scotia bars and restaurants won't hit 100 per cent capacity even though it's allowed, but some in the industry see the change as a vote of confidence to get people in the door. Restaurants and bars can now operate at full capacity and serve patrons until midnight. Nova Scotians are fortunate to have so many local bars, restaurants and breweries right across the province, Doherty said. "Any place you enjoy going, you should just get out and do it because all restaurants and bars need it right now." Like Doherty, she said distancing their tables means she still has to operate at less than half capacity.
