A modern speakeasy isn't illegal like the real ones from the 1920s but how does this qualify as one? It's not hidden, underground, or secret. It's easily recognized as a bar with a main entrance, patio, and you can even see booze displayed on the shelves from outside this place. Just turning the lights down low doesn't make a bar a speakeasy.

It's a very nice looking restaurant/bar chain from Alberta.
I have a lot of admiration for the company Collective Arts Brewery, but last summer at Bathurst and Dundas they had a “pop-up mocktail speakeasy” and I’m just like “bitch, that’s a lemonade stand”.

Fairly cringe.
 
I was thinking of this, but one says “SPEAKEASY HERE”

Regarding the utility cut on Wellington St. This morning I’ve asked the supervisor of the Pro Cut limited executing that work if the pavers a put back in.

She said yes all will be restored. Hope it’s true!
It’s almost as if pessimism isn't always necissary
 
I would really like to see an explanation for why the utility thinks this is okay. They could have just relaid the pavers, it's not like they had to replace them. Is relaying them really that much more expensive than the asphalt patch? To me it seems like this is laziness and total disregard for the appearance of the public realm. "This is why we can't have nice things".
