The Blue Meaney: A Microbrew Freehouse

Asst. Grain Shoveller · Sat Jul 12, 2003 12:39 pm

Hi Y'all
Yesterday Kieron Meaney (and Paula) got possession of "The Blue Meaney", which will be opening after about 2 months of renovation. It is located one big block south of Yonge & Eglington. Vague dates for opening are the Fall of 2003.
(It has the old sign "The Manhattan Lounge" on the front. It is on the west side of Yonge, right across from the Art Shoppe)
There's lots of work to be done, but if you have some spare time and are kind of handy, I'm sure volunteer work would be most appreciated.
Having more pubs that support microbreweries is fantastic. Please remember to support them. Thats how we can grow the awareness of the microbreweries in Ontario.
Drop by every now and then to offer some support and best wishes.
Get ready for the fall!!!!!!
BTW they have a nice patio out back which will be perfect for some good microbrew friends to hang out.
Cheers Ken

I got a call on that this morning...great news for those of us who live in the area. The ten minute walks to the Bow and Granite were just too much

I will do what I can to keep people here updated.

Great news indeed. For those who are interested, the exact address is 2140 Yonge St., and K hopes to be up and running in September.

Can't wait - as Josh mentioned that's quite a nice little beer district we have uptown!

I went by today and there was a sign with a silhouette of K with blue spiked hair. Can't wait till it's open as it will make a nice addition to a uptown pub crawl.

Hi again
Gotta make a correction. Kay's pub will be a Microbrewery Freehoose. I've seen the future menu and it looks good. Better line up now.
They've gutted most of the place so it no longer has that 40+ swinging singles feel to it. (Where will all the cougars go??).
Kay plans on having at least 9 taps and every micro in bottle in the fridge. Should be great!!!
Cheers Ken

How many of those taps will be handpumps, we need more cask condtioned ale in Toronto.

I'm looking for my first (probably only) real ale account in Toronto. Perhaps I can convince Kieran to put Dry Hop Border Bitter or Sgt. Majors cask on? I'd gladly deliver to him, knowing that he understands real ale,

That would be great Perry! Please keep us all
informed of your progress.
