Can Sneaky Dee’s Be Saved? | The Rundown

Sneaky Dee's has been a fixture at the corner of College and Bathurst since 1990, serving giant plates of nachos, hosting live music, and giving generations of Torontonians a place to hang out. But now, its future is up in the air. The reason will sound familiar to anyone who’s watched the city change over the years: a proposed condo development. But community members and Sneaky Dee’s fans aren’t willing to give up without a fight. We talk to general manager George Diamantouros about why so many people are coming together to protect a dive bar — and who has the power to save it. 00:00 Intro 01:20 What Does This Fight Say About Toronto? 03:29 What Happens Next for Sneaky Dee’s? 05:02 What Would Toronto Lose Without It?
