Around 2010, siblings Kyle, Glen and Chloe Kristenbrun were tossing around concept ideas for a bar they wanted to open above their successful breakfast restaurant, Over Easy on Bloor Street. They wanted something that reminded them of a classic North American tavern. “We went around the U.S. to New York, Chicago, San Francisco and New Orleans to get ideas and research what we considered to be in the same vein,” says Kyle. “We checked out the food, the design and décor, and we came up with our concept from that.” That idea resulted in the opening of Museum Tavern in July of 2012.
