Late Night Licenses Begin To Appear In Time For Xmas Cheer
December 19, 2009
A few weeks ago I was about to turn up a flight of stairs off Davie to review a new Spanish tapas restaurant called Mis Trucos for the paper when I saw a notice on its outer wall declaring and detailing the restaurant’s intent to seek out an extended 2am liquor license. I’ve seen several of these signs since and not a few before, but this one was particularly special because owner/chef Kris Barnholden had painstakingly painted it himself using a board, some black and white paint, and a projector (he told me he didn’t want to waste any time or money outsourcing a job he could have done in-house). Barnholden was one of the first to apply for the new (and long overdue) liquor license extensions granted by the no-fun nabobs at City Hall, and we’ve just heard that he has been one of the first to receive a green light. The restaurant is now open until 1am Sunday through Thursday and until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights (ooh, and $6 gets your three tapas after 10pm).

Barnholden’s “Mis Trucos” Now Open In Davie Street Village…
August 15, 2009
Bartender Jonathan James, owner/chef Kris Barnholden, and GM Eryn Dorman rejoice upon opening Mis Trucos
Former Parkside sous chef Kris Barnholden has just opened his first restaurant, a Mediterranean-themed tapas joint called Mis Trucos (“My Tricks”) at 1141 Davie (the old Davie Village Cafe location). Scout broke the news of its coming back in early June:
The 1000 sqft location, which is not without its challenges, was picked up in May. Barnholden is aiming to give it 60 seats with a 6 seat bar and a 25 seat deck out back. It’ll be induction cooking mostly (no hood), and tapas plates will be priced between $4 to $8; sharables in the neighbourhood of $10 to $16; and specials in the same range. “Nothing will be over $20?, he says.
The all Spanish and Portuguese wine list will see six reds, six whites, and six roses, all by the glass at prices that will range from $6 to $14 (wine guy Kurtis Kolt from Salt Tasting Room is helping him out on this score).
Barnholden is hoping that Mis Trucos will have the Davie Village Cafe’s 2:00am liquor license grandfathered in, which would be pretty dang sweet. A late night tapas joint. Go figure.
They have the 2am license, but they’ll be closing at midnight in the short term (from 5pm, closed Mondays). View their menu here once you’ve scrolled down and clicked around the before and after shots… Read more
