A Toronto bar is closing permanently, a little over a year after opening, due to economic pressures and upcoming construction disruptions. Duke's Refresher, the arcade bar-lite chain by Service Inspired Restaurants (SIR), the hospitality team behind such hits as Scaddabush and Jack Astor's, has existed in Toronto, in various capacities, for over a decade. "It is with great regret that we announce the closure of our Duke's Refresher Riverside location effective Monday, Sept. 15," the statement, signed by SIR CEO Peter Fowler and president and COO Paul J. Bognar, reads. On the bright side, you've still got a few days left to visit the Riverside location before it's gone for good, and after that, Duke's Refresher St. Lawrence Market remains alive and well. Duke's Refresher is located at 709 Queen St. E.
