Remember the weeping and wailing that followed this spring’s announcement that groundbreakingbeer spot Bar Volo was being ousted for a condo? Fret no more, suds aficionados of Toronto. The Morana family, Bar Volo’s owners, have announced that the spot will live on in a sprawling space just a few blocks away from the original.
In a Facebook post, the owners announced they’ll move the business to 582 Church (at Dundonald), a massive two-floor Victorian that has lain vacant for over a year, save for a pop-up bar service during Pride. Most recently, it was the home of House-Maison, a French and American-inspired spot from the owners of Smith, who vacated abruptly last summer.
Meanwhile, it looks like things are continuing apace for the opening of Bar Volo’s spinoff spot, now titled Birreria Volo, which will focus on sour and wild beer. We previously reported that the Moranas had secured a spot at 612 College for the new venture.
