It’s not a secret that COVID-19 has wiped out a swath of restaurants and bars across Toronto. The latest victim: I’ll Be Seeing You.

The Riverside bar run by two sisters, Natasha and Vanessa Smardenka, cited a large rent increase combined with restrictions due to COVID-19 as a reason for shuttering.

“It’s been an amazing five years with ups, downs and everything in between,” reads a statement posted to Facebook. “Thanks to everyone who has walked through the doors and truly got us, from our vibe to our menu to our decor. We will truly cherish and will miss all the great memories we’ve had together.”

The last day of service will be Oct. 24.
