Graffiti's Bar & Grill, home of the "black metal brunch," will be closing up shop this Friday after decades of legendary live music shows at 170 Baldwin Ave.
The Kensington Market mainstay will be hosting its last regular show ever on January 26 with Matty Runge and Dan Gagnon, according to promoter Matt Ross.
"Steve Mitchell is closing up shop after 30 years in the live music business," he writes. "A true icon of the Toronto music scene is moving back home to Halifax."
The bar's Facebook page has billed several events as "the last" of their kind in recent weeks, and local musicians have been lamenting the news on Instagram.
"It's time for the boys to find a new home," reads an event description posted by Graffiti's last week. "Come by this Sunday for one last kick at the can. It will be sad, but also a load of fun. The market will be so different on Sundays now."
Indeed it will. RIP Graffiti's.
