75+ NYC Restaurants & Bars That Already Require Proof Of Vaccination

Starting September 13th, NYC restaurants will be required to limit indoor dining to vaccinated-only customers. In the meantime, you might be curious about which restaurants and bars are already requiring proof of vaccination and/or a negative COVID test result to come inside. That’s why we put together a running list of places that are checking vaccination status at the door so that you can stay informed when dining out.

If you know of a place that should be included on this list, please send an email to nyc@theinfatuation.com. If you’re looking for more information, learn more about the new vaccination mandate and the latest masking recommendations from NY officials.
