They had initially been given a date of 10 August to reopen, but this was pushed back to 1 September at the earliest several weeks ago.
In a statement, an Executive Office spokesperson said ministers had agreed “no further restrictions will be lifted at this time”.
“The Executive has been condition-led in its relaxations of coronavirus restrictions,” they said.
“It has made relaxations when it has been right to do so and also consistently stated that it will be prepared to re-introduce restrictions if it is necessary to control the spread of the virus.
“The indicative date of September 1 for the opening of wet pubs, private members clubs and audiences returning to theatres has not been ratified by the executive.
“Officials have engaged with the different stakeholder bodies and no new indicative dates have been set.”
Theatre venues and concert halls had been allowed to resume rehearsals with staff from August 8.
