RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - tomh009 - 10-09-2015 (10-07-2015, 04:27 PM)TMKM94 Wrote: Does anyone know what's happening with Quiznos subs (at least in Waterloo region) there is only 2 locations left in the region (Hespler RD and Sportsworld) The remaining Waterloo locations closed earlier this year and I noticed the Sunrise shopping Centre location has also closed. I read that there bankrupt in the States but it wasn't going to affect Quiznos Canada. They went Chapter 11 (equivalent to receivership in Canada) but exited that over a year ago. Quizno's is normally all franchise, so either the franchisees decided to throw in the towel, or (less likely) the company decided not to renew their franchise agreements.

I popped in this afternoon and thought both the space and the menu looked quite good. I heard that Imbibe's owner, Bill MacTavish, has also stopped participating in the ownership of the Boathouse. It could be a personal/health/family issue, or there could be financial/capital issues. I wouldn't bet on an early re-opening.

I popped in this afternoon and thought both the space and the menu looked quite good. This happened in the summer already, they went their different ways, with MacTavish planning for a new Imbibe. The rumour was that he was looking at the former Marisol space, but that has now been snapped up by the Berlin's owners. RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - numberguy - 10-15-2015 Gushue (as of last week) had not signed the lease on the old Marisol space. Still no new-Imbibe. There's loads of empty downtown Kitchener space. I reiterate, there must be a lack of capital or there may be personal/health issues. RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - Viewfromthe42 - 10-15-2015 Just a few spaces north (or west) of where Caesaria's was, around a massage parlour, there's some frontage work going on, though I haven't seen what is happening there.

If this is speculation, it is not in good taste. RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - numberguy - 10-16-2015 Why do you say that? No disrespect was meant. Imbibe closed months ago. No new location has opened. The Boathouse was a going concern and up and running. He pulled out. There are two reasons that come to mind. Financial and personal. Please explain how that is in poor taste. RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - panamaniac - 10-17-2015 Good news! Descendants Beer and Beverage Co. will be opening a brew pub in a 5,000 square ft building at 319 Victoria St N. The Record article says they hope to be up and running early in the new year. http://www.therecord.com/news-story/5965012-craft-brewery-to-open-within-months/ RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - Lens - 10-17-2015 As with TWB I think this will be all brew and no pub.

The article talks about German beer hall-type tables, so I was assuming pub. Time will tell, but if it's just brew, 5,000 sq ft seems way too large. RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - MidTowner - 10-18-2015 Awesome, awesome, awesome. The mention of "tables" must mean some kind of service. Even if not (or not yet), that is a great location for a place for people to be able to fill up growlers- walkable to downtown, good transit. RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - ookpik - 10-18-2015 The tables may be just for tasting, i.e. no food. Give them a chance to launch the brewery first. Then if they succeed at that 5,000 ft² may prove to be a great decision because it lets them grow in place. Also how much parking is available?

The building does have parking at the back, but I don't know how much. If you don't know the building, it's the one that was recently renovated after serving as a fireworks shop. About a short block before Lancaster. RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - MidTowner - 10-18-2015 (10-18-2015, 09:57 AM)ookpik Wrote: Also how much parking is available? I don't think that's too important, given the new iXpress and the fact that it's so close to downtown.
