A Toronto bar that's faced closure due to lockdowns for over a year now is asking for help to survive.
Nightowl in Little Italy had just come under Reese Malyon's ownership and he was ready to open the doors on Mar. 16, 2020, a day before the state of emergency was announced that required Toronto to go into lockdown.
He had been working at the bar for five years, and as a member of the queer community was excited to keep it a safe space.
Now, he's started a GoFundMe with a $75,000 goal which will go towards safeguarding the venue from closing before his July 1 deadline.
Sports and drag queens along with cocktails and comfort food have come together happily in the bar and venue space known for its lively atmosphere.
Past performers have taken to social media to show their support for the business.
The fundraiser has currently raised just a fraction of its goal, so if you're looking help save yet another venue from dying, head on over and give what you can.
