THE ROOFTOP
You’ve likely heard rumblings about this one — a passion project being supported by the controversial local public figure Brett Wilson, from Dragon’s Den. There’s still a lot of mystery around the official opening dates, the menu and the works. From what we know, it’s reminiscent of an elegant Las Vegas ultra lounge seemingly with a dance floor, a stage, expansive seating and bars decorated with beautiful hanging plants. Keep on eye on @rooftopyyc on IG for more details to come about this super exciting space.
