Kingyo Izakaya at the side of the former Winchester Hotel in Cabbagetown will be closing on November 1, 2021 for a few months as the management team are planning to open "a new business with completely new business model".

Time flies, I used to go there all the time back around 2015 or so with people from my previous company. Admittedly, there's lots of izakayas with better food in the city. But I liked the fun interiors and staff they had.

That's a shame. I liked the atmosphere there. It was the first place where I saw Doraemon as it was playing on their screens. (My partner grew up in East Asia and loved watching that TV anime series, sometimes we find amateur English subtitled versions on Youtube and watch it at home to satisfy her nostalgia.)

It was definitely a unique space inside. I'll miss the quirky and eclectic signage and screens around the dining area. Along with the mini pachinko type machines in the basement as you approach the washrooms. Back around 2015, they'd also often had $10 Sapporo pitchers so this was the spot to be at for us to enjoy some drinks and the cool vibe. Although, their food offerings was where they did lag behind and felt that they were already showing signs of decline a while ago.
