A groundbreaking Toronto bar known for its one-of-a-kind immersive interiors will be closing down at the end of the month.
Much like Taylor Swift, Queen West's Grizzly Bar (formerly Offworld) has had plenty of eras.
Co-owned by Jason Kapalka of Stormcrow Manor and his wife, Jessica, Offworld officially transformed the bar into Grizzly Bar, Toronto's most comprehensive — and perhaps only — Canadian-themed bar.
Just months after Grizzly Bar officially launched, however, the bar took to Instagram to announce that it'll be closing down for good come the end of August, and to mark the occasion, it's reverting to Offworld for one last orbit.
Grizzly Bar/Offworld is located at 739 Queen St. W.
