THE ANNEX - Mount Everest's Bloor St. West location has been shuttered after attempts to find a new location ended sooner than expected. Talk of the rent being increased to $16,000 a month seems to be the main reason for their closure. Read their outgoing message here. And now in its place, MacKenzies, a sports bar opened a couple days ago.
