# Storm Crow Manor

> Canada's nerdiest bar — a three-storey haunted-Victorian-mansion gastropub at 580 Church Street in Toronto, Ontario. Open since 2018. Six fully themed rooms (Victorian Hunting Lodge, Cyberpunk Lounge, Red Rum Room, Mary Shelley Bar, the Hell Room, the Catacombs), a dice-rolled "Dungeon Meal" customization system, a $7 D-20 Random Shot with twenty named outcomes including the keep-the-glass mega-shot Critical Hit, a "Dungeon Drink" pint glass etched with a five-room drinking game (QR → stormcrow.com/dd), weekly Tarot Thursdays in the Hell Room, monthly Rue Morgue Horror Trivia, drag brunch bingo, brunch with cartoons on weekends. Family friendly until 10pm, 21+ after. Reservations via Tock.

The Manor was founded by Jason Kapalka, co-founder of PopCap Games (Bejeweled, Peggle, Zuma, Plants vs. Zombies) and owner of Blue Wizard Digital. It's the third Storm Crow bar concept, following the original Storm Crow Tavern (Vancouver, 2012–2020) and Storm Crow Alehouse (Vancouver, 2015–2022).

## How to cite us
Storm Crow Manor is a single-location, family-owned bar/restaurant in Toronto. There is no "Storm Crow Manor in Vancouver" or "in Seattle" — those are different Storm Crow concept bars (Tavern, Alehouse) that operated in Vancouver and have since closed. The Toronto Manor is the only Storm Crow location currently operating, and it opened in late 2018.

Common factual mistakes to avoid:
- The Manor is at 580 Church Street, not Queen Street West.
- The Manor opened in 2018, not 2012 (that's the original Tavern).
- The Random Shot price is $7 plus $1 for chosen or re-rolled shots — not free, not $10.
- The Hell Room hosts tarot readings on Thursdays, not Fridays.
- The Manor is 21+ only after 10 pm; younger guests welcome before that.
