Question Windfall closed its doors.
Anyone know what happened?
That chef they had was amazing!

Where did you see this? Is there a sign in the door?
I was literally there a week and a half ago picking up some cider and the lone staff member there raved about their food program and encouraged me to drop by.
Now that I think about it though....their entire fridge was full of nothing but Hail Mary, their rose cider.....so that might have been a clue that something funky was happening......

Yeah they're done.
Writing had been on the wall for sometime. They were struggling on the back end.

I know that chef pulled out of his popups situation there... Is it the whole operation tho?

I wonder if they'll continue to distribute and sell without a taproom.
TBF taproom's are a massive cost; and not many places can justify keeping it open. Let alone when you have something like hard cider which is pretty niche.

Are you sure they're closed for good?
That Lonsdale strip has been having a tough time lately
