Restaurant Comings & Goings

Controversial opinion, but the place was not great. Dated and unimpressive interior, utterly bland food, and very disappointing beer selection (there's no excuse for that these days). They made no effort to update a single thing over the decades. Only the epic patio kept this place appealing for so long. With any luck, a much cooler spot will take its place, but knowing Toronto, it'll probably be a freakin' corporate Firkin pub...

Rumor going around is Score On King has bought the place. So they will turn it into an expensive, loud trashy sports bar. :( I think i would rather have a Firkin pub!

Score is a mini Canadian chain. They got another location in Vancouver as well.

Well if that is true, then at least it's not about to become a Rexall like they did to a bar (with history) on Bloor...only to have a very short life. Now it's sadly a Value Village store.

That Value Village is a better use of the space than the Rexall was, though ideally it would be repurposed as an event venue.

I seem to remember another U.S. signature-bread-stick chain that hightailed it out of here long ago.

True, though worth noting this chain is targeting Alberta initially, where one can still find Olive Garden.

The latter exited eastern Canada, but not western Canada. Though its presence in the latter is comparatively small.
