Toronto, Ontario Aug 4, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - A new restaurant and lounge in the works in Toronto’s East End, The Beach is hoping to ramp up Toronto’s jazz scene in a major way. Wedlocks a Piano Jazz Lounge is hoping to open by the end of August at 1961 Queen St E. in the roomy 2300-square-foot space formerly held by Whitlocks Restaurant for more than 30 years. Wedlocks is being opened by Michelle Slota, a talented business owner, and Entrepreneur. "We want to have a very nice high-quality casual dining offering. I'm confident there's a strong desire for that mixture of concertizing and socializing and food and drink," Michelle says.
Wedlocks will be a notable addition to one of the busiest areas of Toronto, The Beaches. Michelle feels "The Beaches has really managed to recapture a lot of the spirit of pre-pandemic joy. She believes that between the heavy foot traffic on Queen St and the Boardwalk and the jazz fans coming to see the 2022 Beach Jazz Festival, her establishment will leave a lasting mark. Michelle believes The Beach has a legacy of great jazz thanks to the Beach Jazz Festival.
And it’s not just The Beach, Michelle hopes the addition of Wedlocks has a lasting impact on Toronto’s jazz community as a whole. She hopes her new venue helps bring awareness to other great jazz bars in the city. "The beautiful thing about building a community is that you enhance it by giving people options," Michelle Says.
Michelle says she does have experience in restaurant curation from decades ago but says she wants to leave the bulk of it up to a seasoned pro. No information has been released in terms of the type of food and drinks that will be served at Wedlocks, but with an opening date eyed before summer ends, we can expect to start seeing details emerge in the next couple of weeks.
