A patron who frequents the bar told Global News it’s a friendly spot where people meet up to talk about soccer.
“We come here every morning to enjoy the nice espresso coffee that they serve here,” Roberto Santelli said. “I would never expect something like that to happen here. It’s an older crowd. Of course there’s younger people too. It’s mainly a soccer bar. We discuss teams and rivals.”
