After five years in downtown Ā鶹AV, a restaurant known for itās variety of cocktails is shutting itās doors for good.
Open since Canada day 2018, Jackās on Bernard era is coming on Jan. 1.
āDespite the hopes of remaining a staple in Ā鶹AVās food and beverage scene, the lack of government support for businesses affected by unforeseen events became the decisive factor,ā said owner Casey Greabeiel. āJackās had a remarkable five-year run, but a series of challenges, culminating in the August fire, has led us to this difficult decision.ā
Greabeiel added that over a four-week span due to the Grouse Complex of wildfires in August, the restaurant lost more than $100,000 in revenue.
Despite losing Jackās, the restaurantās entire team will be transitioning to roles with other restaurants under the Unconventional Hospitality Group umbrella, which includes Pretty Not Bad, Salt & Brick, and Diner Deluxe.
āWhile bidding farewell to Jackās was a tough decision, we are excited about consolidating our efforts and resources into our other projects,ā said Greabeiel.
Jackās on Bernard will have one final celebration on New Yearās Eve at 5 p.m. Jackās final hurrah will have people dancing late into the night.
āJackās holds a special place in my heart, and Iām immensely proud of what weāve achieved.ā
