In March, staff posted saying their building had been sold and they had to ā€œbe outā€ by the end of April.

But thatā€™s in the past now, and The Boxcar appears to be staying in business for the foreseeable future.

Their neighbours at Pizzeria Farina will be able to stay too!

ā€œWe are so excited to let you all know that we have officially signed a lease with the new landlords! We will get to keep our beloved bar until the building comes down,ā€ said the Boxcar in the Instagram post.

ā€œThank you so much to everyone who has supported us!ā€

Fans of their fare commented on the post, making remarks like, ā€œThank goodness,ā€ and ā€œBest news this week/month/year.ā€

“Just in the nick of time,” one person commented.

To celebrate, there will be ā€œfun drink specials all weekā€ on the menu.
