The owner of The Narrow Group, David Duprey, told Dished Vancouver the space was sold to new owners and he wishes them all the best. “For us, The Emerald was an amazing seven-and-a-half-year ride. We really enjoyed and want to thank everyone who came down for all the crazy parties, bands, and half-price cocktail night debauchery,” said Duprey. “We had such a great time and hope you all did as well. We really saw the neighbourhood blossom into a truly cool hybrid of art and culture that I know, with all the new spots opening up Chinatown will only get cooler.”
