Overview
The long weekend is here. And, as Monday is a public holiday, some of your regular spots will be shut. So, if you're on the hunt for a caffeine hit, long lunch or a few more beers, we've put together a list of all the bars, cafes and restaurants that'll be open on Monday, March 8. There is something for everybody on this list, too — from Gradi's award-winning pizza to Bentwood's delectable brunch plates and Embla Rooftop's sky-high sips.
