The Rope Inn????
Yes wondered about that, too, I'll ask them
I'm not sure all of these places are currently licensed. Also, there are two pho restaurants listed for 394 Pacific…
Who wrote this application? You might want to look up when closing time is in Ontario….
not sure got it from the city site
Didn't the Rope Inn close? There's a new sign up there now…
Do we do fact checks here, or is that passe?
The information is directly from the application to city council. I copied it.
I think the extended hours are in reference to the “onto City property, on Saturday, September 12, 2009”.
This would be extended hours for the temporary patios not the bars as they are now.
Sorry folks but I am not in favour of extending hours. Many rental and residential properties back onto Dundas. Even though you are asking for an extension only during the Festival, please keep in mind that many residents do not put their lives on hold during the Festival and still need to attend to families and work. While we all enjoy the Festival, I feel that 2 AM is excessive.
Those extended hours should really make it a hit, thankfully for the residents for only one day. It would be fine if they hung colourful lights across the street for the festival.
Hi A.R. We have wanted to and tried to hang lights across the street before but not been successful in obtaining the correct permissions. The only group who has been able to do this lawfully has been a film company using the Dundas streetscape for a shoot (remember the time travellers wife that shot here awhile ago?) .
Yeah, I'm wondering what the city's standards are for the lights that makes it a challenge to pull off. Thanks for the response.
