The old location of Chambar shuttered this past Saturday in anticipation of the big move to the new address next door. While the restaurant is on this pergatorial dark side of the moon, they’ll be hosting a “fire sale” this Wednesday, August 13th. Goods on the block will include furniture, decor, miscellaneous kitchen equipment, plates, glassware, and Micros POS terminals/printers. It’s a cash only affair, with doors opening at 562 Beatty Street at 11am. If you have great memories of the original Chambar, this is you big chance to take a piece of it home. See you there!
