The Boathouse

[panamaniac]

The Record is reporting that Boathouse partner Mark Forwell will be buying out partner Bill MacTavish.  MacTavish will focus on finding a new location to replace Imbibe.  Last I heard in that regard is that the former Marisol restaurant may be one of the locations that MacTavish is interested in for the "new Imbibe".

This is good news. BoHo didn't grab me the way Imbibe did, and the buyout paves the way for Bill to reopen Imbibe. Which means I may see my IndieGoGo perk after all.

The location rumour is a surprise, because it was hinted to me that the new location was within a block to the south (well, east) of the old location. But that was a couple of months ago, and perhaps that location didn't pan out.

I think there may be a number of possibilities for a new location.  If Niko Niko is moving out, that would seem an option as well. 

I've noticed that Boathouse seems to attract a "more mature" clientele than Imbibe did, at least for lunch out on the patio.  That patio, however, is absolutely the nicest place in town to relax and enjoy a pint on a nice day (like today!).
