Venues that pivoted to F&B had to shut from July 16 after a cluster of cases emerged at KTV lounges and clubs.
After two weeks, the authorities announced that they would be allowed to reopen if they met new safety requirements.
The latest requirements include installing extensive closed-circuit television camera coverage and seven-day Covid-19 testing for employees, among other measures, and the outlets would be allowed to open only after passing an inspection.
Mr Jeffrey Goh, manager at F'awesome Hideout, a bar in Serangoon Gardens, estimates a loss of between $10,000 to $15,000 over the last 30 days.
"With the current 10.30pm restriction, some customers who usually come in the evening after work prefer staying at home as they can visit for only a short while. Pushing the restriction to midnight will allow us to bring back this group when we reopen."
The Lions Den has made the required changes and is waiting to be inspected. Mr Schubert Templar, 34, director of the sports bar in Club Street, said: "When we reopened without music and restrictions to two customers per table in July before the case of the KTV cluster, sales dropped drastically.
"Music is an important part of what draws our customers in, as it provides them with a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy their evening."
