While the terrace was nearly always packed when open, business was apparently not good enough for the multi-level restaurant — which was the second location from Bar Hop and had more than 160 seats — to survive, especially post-COVID.
Given that the closure happened all the way back in January, there was reasonable hope that the prime downtown space would end up occupied by a new venture come summer.
But, a walk past the 137 Peter Street address as recently as this week shows the defunct establishment still bearing (updated) for lease signs as we approach the midpoint of summer.
It's also, sadly, not rare for such quality real estate in the city to end up sitting vacant and unused for months, or even years.
Our fingers are crossed that the space finds new tenants with a fitting new concept to bring to the area sometime in the near future.
