JTA — The Toronto restaurant opened in 2017 by Drake, a well-known Canadian-Jewish rapper, closed down after incurring a $50,000 debt on unpaid rent.
Last week, the Instagram account of the glitzy restaurant and sports bar Pick 6ix said it had closed until further notice due to flooding, the news site Eater reported. But, the Toronto Star reported that the notice of lease termination was put up at the restaurant before the news of the flooding.
The restaurant’s voicemail informs callers that it will reopen in early 2020. Drake, whose net worth is estimate at $150 million, closed down a restaurant, Frings, last year.
Pick 6ix received mixed reviews, with the Toronto Star food critic Amy Pataki calling some of its dishes, including a $29 Spaghetti Bolognese dish served with a lobster tail, “disastrous.”
Another food critic, for the Globe and Mail, described seeing Drake “quietly watched the Raptors game with a female companion and a burger in the VIP room, surrounded by his security detail. Just a regular Tuesday night.”

We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to keep real human reporting like this going.
