The venues have reported outbreaks of five, two, and six cases, respectively, according to Toronto’s COVID-19 monitoring dashboard.
Seven cases were confirmed at Cabana Waterfront Patio, although the outbreak has been declared over.
As of writing, none of the venues have shared statements on their websites or social media pages regarding the COVID-19 cases and have not responded to a request for comment.
On Thursday night, Regulars Bar shared that every one of its tables was taken on its Instagram story.
