42 h. ago New pub replaces Toronto bar that closed after 16 years in business

A Toronto bar with a cult following closed down last winter after 16 years, and it's finally been replaced.It's been eight months since cult-favourite Dundas West sports bar (and former home of Slammie Sammies), Opera Bob's, closed its doors after 16 years, much to the disappointment and dismay of its devoted regulars.The pub was a local staple for a casual drink, lively night out, and especially for Manchester City football match screenings, as the Manchester City Football Club Toronto has called the bar home for nearly as long as it's been around.Last year, during the Premier League championships, it even got a considerable shout-out from the New York Times.Alas, as Nelly Furtado once said, all good things come to an end, and, in the winter of 2024, the pub closed its doors for good, setting its devoted fanbase adrift, searching for somewhere new to take root.Now, at long last, the space has officially gotten a new lease on life, and Opera ...

But one member of the Columbidae family took it upon themselves to buck that reputation this week and try their hand at the high life at a posh, star-studded premiere.If you've been following this year's TIFF happenings on social media, you may have seen the speck...

3 d. ago This $5 million townhouse in an old Toronto mansion is pure class

Most townhouses in Toronto are narrow new builds with more stairs than anyone should reasonably have to climb.But the townhomes at 35 Rosedale Rd.? They feel like they should come with a British title, a butler, a trust fund, and maybe a tiny dog named Winston. Basically, it's old money meets modern luxury.Originally a grand single-family home, this mansion is known as the Captain Samuel Crangle House.The covered front porch. Built in 1891 in the Queen Anne Revival style by architects Henry Gordon and Grant Helliwell — the duo behind several University of Toronto buildings and some of the city's most beautiful churches — it's a stunner.The foyer. Think bay windows, ornate trimwork, warm hardwood floors, and classic brickwork that transports you straight to Victorian England.One of the bedrooms with built-in storage. Eventually, the mansion was converted into condo townhomes, and they almost never hit the market.A little office nook. In fac...
