For immediate release

BROOKLINE – The Town of Brookline announces it will extend the outdoor dining season into December.

In order to support restaurants that were adversely impacted by the stay-at-home orders necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Select Board voted to extend outdoor dining until Dec. 7. The extended temporary outdoor seating program was initially set to come to an end on Nov. 1. 

Restaurants that choose to maintain their patio seating will have the opportunity to obtain permits for temporary, portable liquid propane heaters in order to maintain a comfortable environment into the colder weeks later this fall. Under the pilot program, restaurants may utilize propane heaters as long as they meet a variety of safety requirements outlined by the town and Brookline Fire Department.

Several departments contributed to the effort to extend outdoor dining into late fall, including the Department of Public Works, Building Department, Fire Department, Department of Public Health, Town Counsel and the Licensing Office.

“Our restaurant community has been hit hard by the impacts of the pandemic, and we’re eager to support them however we can as they seek to continue safely serving residents and visitors,” Economic Development Director Kara Brewton said. “I’m grateful for the collaborative effort by the Select Board, town staff, the Fire Department and our business partners that helped make this possible.” 

Restaurants that already have permanent or temporary patio seating will be required to obtain permits to extend their operations into December.
