Restaurant manager of the Ram in the Rye, Crystal Pettman, has just announced that the beloved student bar will remain closed for the duration of the winter 2022 semester. However, Pettman states the Oakham Cafe, which she also manages, will be open.
“Given the circumstances and the short turnaround time we’ve made the decision not to open this term and focus on the cafe,” says Pettman, adding the pub closes each year at the end of March.
She says the bar is expected to reopen again in September.
On the Record reached out to general manager, Jennifer Stacey, and RSU President, Siddhanth Satish, but they did not respond to questions about the closure.
I'm a fourth year journalism student at Ryerson University. Writing has always been my passion. From a young age, I became obsessed with mastering the written word, and looked to journalism as a way of transferring those skills into meaningful employment. My dream is to travel the world as a journalist, soaking up various cultures, which will hopefully aid in my long-term goal of becoming a novelist.
