Grindhouse Burger Bar bites the dust—for now at least

King West’s burger and karaoke bar Grindhouse is no more. The former gluten-free, vegetarian, and regular ol’ meat burger joint is up for lease due to non-payment of rent, according to a note on the door. The staff seems to be taking the news well, however: the glass-half-full kinda folk have been keeping their spirits high with visits to Ottawa’s Bluesfest, tweeting such optimistic thoughts as “no work, might as well play!” They hope to reopen in the future.
