Pity. Agree this will be a sad development when it finally transpires. Wonder if this calendar year will mark the end or if there will be some remaining life in '19. Hope the last day will be announced or in some way made known as I'd be interested in attending to mark the occasion and reminisce about years gone by at 340. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

safety11 1327 Report post Posted November 3, 2018 I suppose when something's a rumour for at least 15 years, it eventually has to come true, eh? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice4fun 78396 Report post Posted November 4, 2018 It would be a shame to see it close I have many blurred memories of evening I spent there before crawling across the street to my room at the old Delta. I don't get to Ottawa very often any more but if I did I would drop in for one last visit to the champagne room. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a little confused. In a recent thread about Taboo's possibly imminent closure, someone else indicated that the license does NOT automatically transfer over to a new owner. But this comment seems to indicate otherwise. Anyone know for sure? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r__d 12698 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Ottawa Citizen article suggesting that Claridge is firing up the approval process for redevelopment of the site at 340. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/claridge-dusts-off-three-tower-development-plan-for-land-beside-lyon-lrt-station If anyone hears about when the final day will be for Barbarella's, I hope this could be shared here. As previously mentioned, I certainly would attempt to be present sometime on the final day (afternoon or maybe evening) to mark the occasion and recall memories of many nights and afternoons at this venue. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peachka 4334 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Since there is an existing licence for 340 Queen, maybe Claridge will build a SC in the new development! (Extreme wishfull thinking!) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Hornet 2080 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Sad to see this institution going away, there were many memorable evenings. I don’t get to Ottawa often anymore, but the article didn’t indicate a timeframe. Anybody have news on when Claridge would take over and break ground?

Anyone know for sure? Not what I said. It can be transferred over. Sometimes although they changed the name the owner in the case of Tease stayed the same except for the last person who held the license. Now they are having issues and I would say it is about 50-50 that the issue is with the owner's past or background. (criminal record, etc) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
