Restaurant Comings & Goings

'Against the Grain' will be opening soon in the southeast corner of the Corus building. What a great spot, I hope they have a big juicy patio.

There was a lot of activity at the infamous Joey's Restaurant at the Eaton Centre today.
That site has been dead for months. Looks like they are making a push to be ready for spring and patio season.

A new pub called The Town Crier has opened on John, just a tad north of Adelaide W. I haven't been yet, but something about its signage, attitude and selection of European beers makes me think it may be an expansion of the Village Idiot Pub (VIP) / Sin & Redemption combination up at Dundas & McCaul. I'll report more once I've tried it!

I got confirmation. It is indeed part of the VIP / S&R empire.

The Pilot Tavern on Cumberland received a makeover awhile back with the help of funds from the Facade Improvement Program.

I checked the reviews for this place and they are all over the map. Guess there is only one way to find out the truth!

Oh Boy Burgers at Queen W & Portland has closed.

Texas de Brazil coming to Toronto...stay tuned.

There's actually a place just like that around Yonge and Eglinton (on Eglinton east). Forgot the name.
There are several other similar concept restaurants in Toronto already; at least on on the Danforth.

Good though!

I went to a fetish night in that place about 10 years ago. Took all of about 15 minutes for me to flee.

Oh Boy Burgers at Queen W & Portland has closed.

Ha! How long was that open? A month?

Seemed like it. It was always busy whenever I ate across the street at Arepa, so I'm led to assume that financial mismanagement was the cause.

A Fox and Fiddle is going in the base of 33 Bay/Success Tower next to the Second Cup. It will be interesting to see if this causes any opposition like the CityPlace location.

The Pilot has a great, very large 3rd floor patio that's usually busy in the summer. The ground floor is your regular bar-type of establishment, with a very diverse clientele. Anything from students to Yorkvilleites. Usually sports on the giant screen. It's usually not too crowded so you can find a table fairly easily.

Ugh, those generic corporate chain pubs are so soulless. I guess that makes them the perfect fit for those condos...

Just found out that the Keg at Yonge and Sheppard (Sheppard Centre) is closing down next week. i found out from one of the staff there.

There might be a possibility they will stay in the area if they find a new above-ground location.

It will be missed!
