Barefax boarded up with plywood, looks permanently Closed
- Thread starter torboy
- Start date
Barefax just boarded up yesterday as Friday it looked as it did before, also 27 Club next door is also plywooded up. As the building is for Sale I can only speculate the Leases are not being extended, has nothing to do with protests or patios just being reopened
FFS stores, restaurants and bars have been boarding their fronts since the start of the pandemic for a variety of reasons including security. Protests this last little while have just made the the situation worse. I guess the lockdown has gotten everyone into the conspiracy theory mode.
As a non-stop almost daily strip club guy, I ain't crying if barefax closes down. It was headed downhill with their insane CR extra fee anyway.
But on a more balanced side, it not good for the industry in general. Ottawa loses clubs and doesn't replace them.

Thats' too bad if it is true. Its my favourite hangout for lunch, will miss their my fave dancer (Tamika), Wednesday Steak buffet and Thamksgiving turkey with all the trimmings

Wrong, they can and have been transferred. They are misinterpreting the bylaw. If you want an example look at Tease/Casino Cabaret/Palace of Screams etc. They are limited to existing addresses which are listed on the bylaw so if someone wanted to open an adult entertainment parlour at that address they could.
My bad, what I meant to say was not transferred but re-issued to a new operator in the same location. Again, I gave a valid example where I know the license has been re-issued at least twice in the last few years. I never implied that the new owner or operator would not have to abide by what is laid out in the bylaw (record check, etc). But 27 York, along with several other locations including even the old Jason's location in Kanata, are explicitly mentioned in the bylaw as places that can be licensed as an adult entertainment parlor. If someone meets the criteria laid out in the bylaw then the city would have a difficult time not re-issuing a license for that specific location. They could try but I doubt they would succeed.
Why did Jasons close, was it any good? I'm still saddened that The Dollar closed, it was close to my home and there were nude women dancing in it lol
Jason’s was the subject of a lot of complaints from parents of children at the daycare that was behind it. The parents were finding used condoms and drug paraphernalia in the children’s playground. When it became a Chinese food restaurant the issues stopped.
One of the biggest things was also the NHL strike. All the bars in Kanata and Bells Corners suffered because they lost all the pre and post game business. A lot of people would meet at Jason's and take a shuttle or a cab to the game. Same with the Hooters in BC and a few others. Their biggest nights were games nights.
