NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet yesterday confirmed social distancing restrictions on pubs and clubs would be brought in line with restaurants and cafes, allowing them to seat up to 10 people for dining from tomorrow.

The venues will be allowed to serve alcohol but only alongside a meal.

Australian Hotels Association Wagga president David Barnhill said the move was a "small step in the right direction," after the association criticised the previous decision to keep pubs closed in the first easing of restrictions.

"It's good the government's understood that we should be on level pegging with the cafes," Mr Barnhill said.

He said while his pub, the William Farrer Hotel, would "have a crack" at taking dining bookings, it was only viable because the business already had staff on to provide a takeaway food service.

"I think you'll find a lot of pubs that are closed in town that aren't offering any takeaway will remain closed," he said.

"It's a bit of a PR exercise really, we just want to fly the flag for our business."

The Wagga RSL Club has decided open the Pearl Chinese Restaurant from Wednesday to Sunday on a bookings only model.

RSL Club general manager Andrew Bell said after advocating to be included in the eased restrictions, it was important for clubs to respond.

"If we don't react and show the government we are keen on getting going again, we might be left out of the next round too," he said.

"We're not doing it to make a profit, we're doing it for our members."

Collingullie publican Matt Quade said while the Gullie Pub had previously eagerly awaited the first set of eased restrictions, he had ultimately decided not to open until June at the earliest.

"We would still have to refuse entry to a lot of our local customers ... it's just not going to be worth it," he said.

He said his pub was divided into a beer garden, bar and dining room, and he would be hoping to safely fill all three sections when they did eventually open.

"If we were allowed ten people in each of those areas, we would gladly open again," he said.

Mr Quade said it was also important to know there would be continuity with the rules, and he was still concerned the government may need to tighten restrictions back up again at short notice which would see stock go to waste.
