Blue Horse Eatery Returns to Davisville This Week
The team behind longtime bar Kramer's opens a new restaurant on Yonge Street with modern Italian bar food.
Davisville residents are getting their neighborhood hub back. The team behind Kramer's—the beloved bar and grill that quietly closed in fall 2025 after decades—opens Blue Horse Eatery on Friday at 1867 Yonge Street, just north of Balliol.
The new spot takes over the old Fionn MacCool's location and won't replicate Kramer's exactly. Instead, expect modern Italian bar food, full cocktails, and the same social energy that made Kramer's a gathering place. You can still watch the game, grab drinks with friends, and feel the neighborhood vibe that drew loyalists for so long.
Blue Horse Eatery is the team's second concept after opening Blue Horse Cucina, an Italian restaurant in Etobicoke last year—a nod to Kramer's mysterious cobalt colt mascot. Two more restaurant concepts are in the works: a rotisserie meat restaurant in Cabbagetown is also planned.
The return matters because Davisville has been rapidly overwritten by development. Kramer's hosted regular trivia nights and sports screenings for decades, making it a reliable third place in a neighborhood losing its anchors. Blue Horse Eatery signals the team's commitment to reclaiming that role, even if the food and drink are reoriented around modern Italian rather than the classic bar-and-grill formula.
