Anybody know the info on this spot: 407 Mermaid Lounge (suite 100 in the Mermaid Wharf Building adjacent to Canoe).  Previous location of Saltaire Lounge, Queen Mother Cafe and an architect's office.

 

The unit was reno'd well over a year ago when the architect's office vacated, now it looks like a bar etc. again, but i've seen no activity in person or online.  I was originally thinking that the strata may have taken over the unit as a common area, but can't confirm this...

Montana's Cookhouse at Saanich's Tillicum Centre will undergo a renovation and rebranding this spring, according to sources familiar with the plans.

Specific closing and re-opening dates have not been confirmed, however. [Full article]
