Funded [in part] by the Government of Canada As remaining fixtures and equipment from the for- mer Pearl Nightclub and Flying Dog restaurant are sold off over the next couple of weeks, there looks to be fun and games on the way. According to land regis- try information, the 5.8-acre property at 341 Marsland Dr. was purchased by a num- bered Ontario corporation in September 2018 for $5.93 million. That corporation, the Chronicle learned, is Pala- sad - a London, Ont.-based entertainment business that features locations on Ade- laide Street North and Pine Valley Boulevard in that city, offering bowling, laser tag, billiards, ping pong, an arcade and escape rooms, as well as restaurant and bar areas that can serve all ages - birthday parties through to larger, corporate events. In an email, Palasad's re- gional operations manager Garth Brophy confirmed the company purchased the property on Marsland Drive with the intention of opening an entertainment venue, though plans for redevelop- ment are still in the works. "We are currently in the middle of the approval and planning process, so it is a little too early for us to com- ment on specifics or the ti- meline," he said in the mes- sage. "In the near future we would be pleased to shed more light on what we have planned." Earlier this year, Palasad announced $2.5 million in upgrades at its north London location, adding "Social- Bowl" to its brand of upscale gaming, revamping its inte- rior along with high-end cocktails and food. A new stage was built over bowling lanes to allow for bands and live entertainment, and five escape rooms were added un- der the title Escapeology. The former Pearl Night- club and Flying Dog restau- rant closed back 2016. Both were popular hot spots for decades, the night club long known as Revolution Night Club, or "the Rev."
