OUR STORY: We are your HOME-BASE!

We are a small family-run business, owned by a husband and wife, and three small kids. Established in 2019.

We met at age 18 and from there, we always set our intentions to one day own a bar. Back then, we scoured the streets looking for buying opportunities and having ideas that floated around in dreamland, thankfully, going nowhere back then.

We had no idea how much work, time, and money it would take to start something from absolutely nothing.

But we stuck together and made a plan.

We’ve always set our building life blocks as a team. At eighteen, we planned to get our first truck. We worked tirelessly, sacrificing our time and saving our money. Eventually, we got the exact truck we wanted, brand new. By 25, we planned to have our first house. We made it happen. We were married by 33 and knew we wanted kids in our lives; our bungalow was not going to suffice, so we planned to aim higher. We bought our second house at 33 and by 34 had our first child, then our next by 36.

By age 37 we finally made our fourth child “The Cat’s Cradle”. It took great risks, our life savings, and all of our time, but 20 years later, a lifelong dream is completed. We plan to carry on unto our grandchildren and hopefully longer.

Now in our 40's, we're sticking to making The Cat's Cradle the place to be on St Clair west!

We provide a secure, family-friendly environment and a welcoming space for women.

We're a home-base for sports enthusiasts and a hub for music lovers with Karaoke and live bands.

Our entrance is next to the garage door. The perfect people-watching spot.

We strive to provide a comfortable atmosphere of gold, marble, brick, and stained woods. Our cozy sports bar offers pub foods, spirits, beers, wines, and beverages of all kinds, including hard-to-get imports. We've also got a sunny back patio for your lazy summer days, comedy, karaoke, jazz events, and live music that's sure to entertain.

We are nestled in the Corso Italia neighborhood, where my husband and family grew up with lots of friends nearby.

You'll always be greeted with a smile and by name, with a friendly “hello”. Our customers are like family. You'll get caught up with us in the Cat's Cradle, It's just how we roll!
