Toronto has a hidden new Japanese cafe and bar that hosts a recurring chess club Toronto
around the city, who wanted a low-key place to play chess with like-minded people in the city.The idea began when Courtice visited during the day and started talking to co-owner Nigel Wang over a cup of coffee about their mutual love of the game.
During the day, the space operates as a cafe but at night, it serves whisky and cocktails set to the dulcet tones of carefully curated music, which Wang is responsible for. Note: evening operating hours are still in flux. In fact, during our visit, a child walked in and sat down with his father to play. Hani Abbasi tells us he and his wife are regulars of the coffee shop and big fans of the vibe.
"You're basically sitting down opposite a complete stranger, you get to know them in a weirdly intimate way if you see them week after week," explains Courtice.
