The premium casual dining brand Moxies is expanding its footprint in Ontario with the announcement of a new restaurant opening in Barrie this April. This will mark the brand's 60th location nationwide, reinforcing its position as a leading destination for handcrafted dishes, signature cocktails, and award-winning hospitality.
A Vibrant New Destination in Barrie
Located at 139 Park Place Boulevard within the popular Park Place retail center, the new Moxies establishment is designed to be a go-to gathering spot for the community. Whether for casual evenings out, business lunches, or special celebrations, the restaurant aims to deliver an elevated experience with its contemporary atmosphere and warm service.
Spacious and Modern Design
Spanning 7,100 square feet, the restaurant can accommodate up to 300 guests. It showcases Moxies' latest contemporary design direction, featuring warm finishes, modern details, and abundant natural light that creates an inviting and energetic vibe. The space seamlessly transitions from daytime dining to evening gatherings, enhanced by both an enclosed patio for year-round use and an open-air patio.
Inside, a large seated bar and lounge area with multiple televisions serves as the dynamic heart of the restaurant, encouraging connection and celebration. Floor-to-ceiling glass along the front amplifies the bright, airy feel, while versatile areas provide ideal settings for private events and group functions.
Leadership Perspective
"We create dynamic spaces where a chef-driven culinary program, standout cocktails, and genuinely warm hospitality come together to deliver an incredible vibe," said Joanne Forrester, President and Chief Operating Officer of Moxies Restaurants. "This opening marks an exciting milestone for our brand, and we're thrilled to reintroduce Moxies to the Barrie community with a beautifully designed space that delivers elevated dining in an energetic, welcoming setting."
Culinary and Beverage Offerings
Guests can enjoy Moxies' signature favorites, including the Chipotle Mango Chicken, Salmon and Avocado Cobb Salad, Tomatoes and Whipped Feta, along with a new premium sushi selection designed to cater to diverse palates.
The beverage program is equally thoughtful, featuring an extensive selection of wines, draft beers, and spirits. Curated cocktails such as the Espresso Martini, Smoked Old Fashioned, and Pineapple Basil Margarita are highlights, complemented by a considerate lineup of zero-proof options.
Commitment to Growth and Community
The new Barrie location underscores Moxies' continued expansion in Ontario and its dedication to bringing premium casual dining experiences to more communities across Canada. Moxies Barrie Park Place will offer daily happy hours from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM until closing, as well as a dedicated weekend brunch menu for guests seeking to start their day in style.
This opening not only represents a significant growth step for the brand but also reinforces its role as a vibrant social hub where food, drink, and hospitality converge to create memorable experiences.
