The best part is that when the ShortFinger taproom is open, you can order your food at Wooden Boat and then carry it next door to the taproom to have a beer with your dinner.

I was wondering about that - seems like a good option all around.

This looks almost ready to open, signs just went up either today or yesterday, the bar was being set up inside with glassware. That being said, who knows, given the saw still on the porch. Wonder if it'll be any good!

Pretty large building though. Do you think the left wing of it is some odd, windowless seating section? Or a different tenant entirely? Maybe even the smokehouse?

Starbucks is moving into the Souvlaki Flame on Victoria St near Frederick (old Wendy's location across from Canadian Tire). Construction fencing is up around the building.

The eastern part of Kitchener used to be a big hole in Starbucks coverage. With the DTK location, the Stanley Park Zehr's location and now this, that's rapidly changed.
