A bastion of Johnston Street, Thank You Bar is closing its doors permanently in a couple of weeks.
A favourite of Abbotsford residents since they opened their doors in January 2020, the cosy bar and bottleshop is closing its doors in a couple of weeks. With a great courtyard to chill and drink a wine or two in, as well as DJs spinning tunes live on their decks, it was a great place to hang out that will be sorely missed. Their last day of trade will be on August 20 and the space is being taken over by a bar called Panacea Bar.
