The Assembly pub in Braddon hopes Canberrans rally behind businesses to help ease the pressure of a three-week lockdown as owners prepare to open for takeaway food and drinks.
Assembly was one of several Covid exposure sites last week, with the list now growing to more than 200 as Canberra comes to grips with a case outbreak.
ACT Health confirmed 16 new cases on Wednesday, taking the total number of active cases to 83. More than 19,000 people have been identified as close contacts.
The lockdown, which is in place until at least September 2, is having a major impact on a wide range of industries.
Assembly's staff have all tested negative and some are in quarantine, but they're ready to open for takeaway after adhering to cleaning protocols.
"As many of you have seen we have been named again as an exposure site," the business wrote on social media.
"We understand this may make some of you hesitant to swing by.
"But we are still OPEN and serving the community safely. A professional deep clean of the entire venue has taken place, all our staff have tested negative, and we are masked up and following all safety [and] cleaning protocols."
After someone opened what time the pub was open from, they replied: "Open from 8am everyday".
