Dundas West music venue Hard Luck Bar is attempting to fundraise $35,000 to make ends meet during the pandemic.
George Diamantouros has organized a GoFund Me campaign that has raised nearly $23,000 in six days.
He says the money will help cover “accumulating rent and other
expenses while we are closed during the COVID-19 shutdown.”
“The costs of hanging onto a business that’s essentially been shuttered for the better part of 9 months have grown too great,” he writes on the GoFundMe page description. “Every attempt to pivot to another model just forces us to incur additional costs and invariably have ended with more lock down measures making any recovery impossible.”
