Calgary's Oak Tree Tavern closes after eight years of business

They say when it rains, it pours, and today, it definitely feels that way for Calgary’s restaurant scene.

Less than 24 hours after Kensington’s Midtown Kitchen & Bar announced it would be permanently closing, another longtime establishment in the neighbourhood has done the same.

The Oak Tree Tavern, located at 124 10th Street NW, revealed it has permanently closed after eight years of business.
