Watermark Irish Pub open

Okay, it's open. We walked by the restaurant on Queens Quay Terminal and they were relatively busy. It looks very vibrant inside.

Watermark Irish Pub opening soon?

We passed by the site of the Watermark Irish Pub at Queens Quay Terminal tonight. Construction is well under way and, in fact, they were serving food we believe to its staff. Can a real opening be far off? Well, they did promise an April opening on their website.

We noticed a few flat screen TVs and they're making use of the side area on the east side of the building.

Watermark Irish Pub coming to Queens Quay as Boathouse Grill goes

The Boathouse Grill, which has for years anchored the southeast corner of the Queens Quay Terminal, has closed, according to this blog post.

In its place, the Watermark Irish Pub is coming, which is set for an April opening.

Here's a little description of the pub on their website.

The Watermark Irish Pub and Restaurant is bringing the luck and charm of the Irish to the Harbourfront District! Located in the Queen’s Quay Terminal, Watermark features a panoramic view of Toronto’s harbourfront, seating for 240 inside the pub and patio space for up to 220 overlooking the waterfront.

The pub is owned by the same company that brought you such Toronto establishments as the Foggy Drew on King West (west of Bathurst), the Mill St. Pub in the Distillery District and the Pour House on Dupont.

Expect the pub and its patio (if they have one) to be packed in the summer. Big question for locals is will we pack it during our long cold winters
