The Bar Towel

Hearing a rumour that Bim LaFontaine's opening a brewery at Gerrard and Coxwell. There's a 6000 sq ft space there that others had eyeballed.
Can anyone confirm?

Please be true. Please be true. Please be true.

I overheard someone from BT talking to Bim about this at Volo yesterday...perhaps they could elaborate on here.

I talked to him a bit but am sworn to secrecy.

This Toronto Star article from December 17 of last year reported that Sweetgrass was moving in to that building on the west side of Coxwell just behind the stores on the south side of Gerrard but nothing's been done with it and I saw a For Rent sign on it on Sunday. So has Sweetgrass bailed out?

Spill the beans sprague11 (or at least send me a DM!).

Does it have something to do with Volo's second location they are opening up?!?

apparently, yes.
that's part of what i've heard. SG couldn't come to terms with the property owners

Bim is bartending at Bar Hop 2 three nights a week... just go ask him!

good Luck Bim! I am looking forward
