A maximum of 6 adults will be allowed at one table and wearing face masks will be mandatory while not seated.
Donal O'Keeffe, Chief Executive of the LVA says there are a lot of mixed feelings around the reopening.
"Today is a huge day for our industry - we're approaching it with a mix of relief, hope and nervousness after the longest hospitality lockdown in the world.
"Some of our members have been closed an incredible 497 days, so it is a very important day as we begin to rebuild our businesses."
