11 h. ago Toronto takes steps to finally protect the city's oldest bar for good

One of the oldest pieces of Toronto history that we've still got left has, at long last, been given the designations it requires to remain a landmark of the city for a long time to come.The Wheatsheaf Tavern, opened all the way back in 1849, has always generally been considered the oldest bar in the city, although it was technically opened after The Black Bull, which debuted under a different original name — thus, some say, disqualifying it from the title — over a decade earlier (The Bull closed last year, anyhow).Aside from a brief scare when it shuttered in 2019, which turned out to be only temporarily and for the purpose of completing a stunning facelift, the Wheatsheaf has been pouring brews at King and Bathurst for nearly two centuries.Which is why the Toronto Preservation Board pushed through a motion to designate the property under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act — a recommendation that just passed this week.A threads post about ...
