A special menu will be rolled out as The TapHouse reopens to diners for the first time almost 60 days after closing because of COVID-19 restrictions.

The City Lane bar reopened to sit-in diners on Thursday.

Bar manager Dave Hinnrichs said bookings were coming in fast.

“It’s been pretty positive so far, we’ve had a few bookings. We’re pretty much (booked out for the weekend), but there’s a few gaps in the later times,” he said.

Mr Hinnrichs said customers will be served four dishes matched with either beers or wines for $75 a person.
