Leopold's Tavern has posted on facebook they are opening a location in Victoria.  It's a small chain of pubs from Regina with locations in Alberta and Manitoba as well. They didn't specify where in town they were going.

From the Parthenon Pizza menu:

3. THE MEDITERRANEAN PIZZA

Cheese, Ham, Bacon, Pineapple

 

Nothing says "Mediterranean" quite like a Hawaiian pizza...

They are opening in the old Steamers location on Yates. Be interesting are they are essentially deemed to be a " dive bar", and they will be located almost across the street from El Furniture Warehouse, another "dive bar". Not sure if they did their research , time will tell. Lower Yates is filling up with many drinking establishments. Add Chucks Burger to the mix

Nothing screams dive bar like $10 beers!

Question: we have a sort of dive bar downtown. Can you identify where it is?

It’s not quite downtown but my guess is Logan’s Pub.

I am confused.

Is this post snooty, anti-drinking, or both?

That’s a faux dive bar, and Logan’s would be outside of downtown for sure.

But yes, Victoria watcher got it. It’s View Street Social.

It certaily is faux now. But there was a time, not that long ago, that one could spit their chewing tabacco onto the peanutshell covered floor without a second look in there!

Fun fact: "Hawaiian" pizza was invented by a Greek immigrant in southern Ontario. There's your Mediterranean connection! ;)

Curious what's going in at 240 Cook Street. There's an active BP for interior renovation to one of the units, conversion from retail to cafe. I assume it's the corner unit where Rain Bird was but can't be sure.

Cook's Day Off goes out of business.

 

That's too bad cause boy did they make good pre-made meals.  We discovered them when they catered the appetizers for a Point Hope Maritime - Dockside Green party a few years ago.  Apparently there was some mis-management and most of their cooks quit - the death blow for a catering company.

 

Oh well, this led us to discover Cheryl's Gourmet Pantry just down the street!
