Calgary-based restaurant and bar chain, Central Taps, is opening its first Toronto location later this week, and we've got a first look for you.
The latest Canadian chain to open in Toronto is Calgary's Central Taps, which currently operates one location in its home city (with another on the way), a recently opened Vancouver spot, and, come July 3, a Toronto location on Ossington.
The restaurant feels like the spacious, casual-yet-cool haunt that the Ossington strip didn't know it needed.
Central's menu is identical across all of its locations, a choice that, Gordon tells us, was based on the chain's desire to ensure consistent experiences for its patrons across the board.
Central Toronto Ossington opens at 114 Ossington Ave., Toronto on Thursday, July 3.
