Effective immediately, Chicago’s indoor dining capacity is increasing from 40% to 50% or 50 people per space - whichever is less. This change was announced by city officials on Tuesday. Another change is that the curfew has been extended from midnight to 1am.

For now, other restrictions remain the same. So still only six people per table, no booze after 11pm, and only bars that serve food are allowed to be open for indoor service. And of course, diners are still required to wear their masks unless they are eating or drinking.
