Message CapFlu P beers 5136 º places 238 º 20:36 Wed 11/23/2016 Sad day... but thankfully the old gal was largely saved: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/spinnakers-pub-fire-1.3864704
Message Oakes P admin beers 30677 º places 1135 º 09:25 Thu 11/24/2016 We may have to list the place as temporarily closed if it is out of commission for any length of time. If it’s just a few days, no point. I’m assuming they’ll repair it. It always struck me as a cash cow.
Message DuffMan beers 10981 º places 349 º 11:58 Thu 11/24/2016 I hope they can restore it. I’ve only been a couple of times, but it is a lovely spot.
Message CapFlu P beers 5136 º places 238 º 17:04 Thu 11/24/2016 They will rebuild. http://www.timescolonist.com/news/local/spinnakers-brewpub-heavily-damaged-by-fire-no-one-hurt-1.3150747

Didn’t list as "closed" because that will is inaccurate. I have no reason to think they won’t re-open once they get the repairs done.
