The news of the closure comes just after a violent incident unfolded on Granville Street Saturday.
According to police, a suspect lit an apartment on fire and attacked several people with a machete. Then, they were shot by police and taken to hospital for their injuries.

The Roxy was also closed on Saturday due to the incident.
Back in March, just as bars were reopening following COVID-19-related closures, The Roxy had to close temporarily after it suffered “sustained external structural damage to the building caused by neighbouring construction.”
You can follow The Roxy on social media to find out when they’ve reopened again.
