Nice that something's happening here, it was looking pretty run down.
The McVeigh's website and Instagram say it is still open...McVeigh's shut it's doors this weekend.
The people who bought the place gave the existing owners a 2 year extension to keep the place open before the redevelopment.
Had some great nights in there in my younger days.
63 years in that spot - now gone.
That heritage building deserves some TLC. Clearly it can't be redeveloped.This photo by @AlbertC on the Alias thread shows why THIS project cannot add floors - as was originally planned. I assume Alias 'made an arrangement". McVeigh's may now be closed - no live acts noted on their website since mid-February. If it's closed, let's hope they get to work sooner than later but, as far as I can see, it has no active building permits.
