“Those familiar with The County General will feel right at home at the new bar, but it has been tweaked to better suit the neighbourhood...Designer Jason Stroud (known for his work at Origin, Yours Truly and the now-closed Colborne Lane) has taken care of décor, imbuing the space with an industrial-meets-organic aesthetic: reclaimed wood and copper, exposed brick and an elaborate custom-built lighting installation.”

“The County General’s new east-end spin-off is a café, snack shop and cocktail bar in one...The space is bigger and sleeker than the original, but it conveys the same country-style spirit with bright red bar stools and discrete touches of gingham.”

“The quaint corner lot, formerly occupied by the Canadian Pie Company, underwent an overhaul just a few weeks ago prior to the opening. With a similar fancy farmhouse interior, the vibe and aesthetics are almost identical - including the coveted side patio, which promises to be a swish spot come summer months. In terms of ambience, owner Carlo Catallo [hired Stroufoot Design who] brought painstaking detail into the new space, with earthy wooden sculptures hanging from the ceiling and gleaming cherry red chairs dotting the otherwise muted grey palette.”
