There is always more to the story – but you have to get out and dig out the details.
The Queen’s Head has been chopped off; the were short $12,189.12 on the rent and the property owners called in a bailiff and looked for a new tenant.
Bailiffs sign posted on the door.
The Queen’s Head is part of local history – the new name is 400 Brant Kitchen and Bar. Based on what we have learned the menu will go through an upgrade – they appear to want to be more than a pub.
The outside has a more modern look – the inside will probably be the same. Works crews and still beavering away.
Sara, the woman that is leading the team that will operate the restaurant said that the expect to open up the room that had the pool table that had certainly seen better days has been turned into an event location that will be open before the end of the month.
Sara said they have gone to great lengths to keep as much of the original decor as possible. The room will hold 30 to 40 people.
The restaurant itself won’t open until sometime in June – it won’t be as “clubby” as it used to be. They appear to have done quite a bit of work to upgrade the furniture and the fitting. More glass and light – not as dark as the Queen’s Head was. We expect to go on a tour later in the month.
If you think the space might be something you want to use for a large family or corporate event – reach out: info@400brant.ca

Yes more to the saga. The QH served the community well for years. Were they another casualty of over the top government lock downs, federal, provincial and municipal? YES. How about Emma’s? And is the COB patio fees helpful or hurtful? I say hurtful.
