User:Geo Swan/Wheat Sheaf Tavern

__NOINDEX__ See User:Geo Swan/Stale drafts The Wheat Sheaf Tavern is reported to be the oldest tavern, or drinking establishment, in the city of Toronto, Canada. It was opened in 1848. It was the closest tavern to Fort York. Later it was the closest tavern to the Stadium in the Canadian National Exhibition where the Toronto Argonauts and the Toronto Blue Jays played. Business dropped when the Blue Jays moved to the new Skydome. The Wheat Sheaf briefly closed in March 1995. Reporting, at the time, suggested the closure would be permanent. But it was soon re-opened.
