If there's anything that really stood out in the '10s, it's the dominance of restaurants as entertainment and themed bars. However, I don't believe many of these establishments will survive the coronavirus or the long economic depression that awaits us when the virus is over. And given that a lot of these concepts were born out of the hipster era, I question whether or not similar types of restaurants and theme bars will re-emerge. This may be the end of certain concepts.
I think there's a good chance we could return to eating at Olive Garden and drinking at TGI Friday's after all of this is over, at least temporarily. It's likely we will have a completely different entertainment culture by 2030 once the new reality starts to become more established.

I don't think so. Things like restaurants, bars, concerts will most likely stick around. Humans are social beings and you can't change biology (at least not overnight).
Offices, conference halls, and classrooms, places where people don't necessarily want to be, I can see those disappearing or at least less used as spaces.

Nah, governments can fund them back into business. The ladder happening is way too unrealistic and silly.

Restaurants and themed bars aren't going anywhere. Many will find a way to survive, especially if they are well established in the area they are trading in.

Governments need taxed income over and above debts and obligations to do that, and even then it can be a massively politically controversial decision. Remember the bank and auto bailouts of 2008 and 2009?

Maybe, but what I do have is a degree in political science, and my knowledge and experience tells me you need two things: money and political will. Right now we have neither.

As of now, dine ins are not allowed anywhere, and even if this lockdown gets lifted, they will have a limit to how many people can eat inside at once.

I mentioned this in the "other forum," but I think dining out will be less of a casual affair from this point on. In addition to coronavirus fears, I think most people have taken full advantage of the fact that they're now required to prepare all of their own meals. They're experimenting and going all out with their home-cooked meal to a degree that I think home dining will become the default in a way it hasn't been in decades.
I can easily see at least Americans beginning to look going to a restaurant as more of a special occasion from this point forward, much as it was before the postwar boom when going out to dine became more affordable and convenient, and therefore more commonplace. This too is likely to result in many restaurant closures, although my hope is that this will hit the big chains more than the smaller family-owned restaurants.

Same, restaurants and bars are gradually reopening in my province, we have hit the target of 70% of people ages 18+ vaccinated! By July 11, restrictions will be eased down and I would spend HOURS in malls and gonna watch the next Fast and Furious movie, it's been a while
