The Ten Spot Beauty Bar at 1657 Bayview Ave. intends to live up to the “bar” part of its name as it applies for a liquor license. If approved, and the owners say several Toronto locations of Ten Spot have been licensed already, the Bayview nail and pedicure storefront will serve wine and beer. It may also serve more. The manager says the intention is to offer wine with routine services and to provide an attractive extra for women who want to organize private evenings at the bar. This seems like a newer concept and departs from former standards of the LCBO where an entrepreneur had to be primarily in the eating and/or drinking business. The conditions set by the government regarding minors, hours of operation and the keeping of a kitchen, for example, all seem problematic. But presumably operators of other Ten Spots already know the drill. Ten Spot is a Canadian chain with locations in B.C. PEI and Ontario.
