After four months in operation, motorcycle-themed vegan dive Motobar (487 King St.) has announced it’s shutting its doors. A Facebook post says the restaurant will serve its last meal this weekend and that a new restaurant will take over soon. When we called Motobar this morning, the manager said he couldn’t comment on the changes at this time.

Bar. Maybe the next tenant will marry that spirit of creativity — Czech-Canadian fusion? — with great cuisine.
