New events venue opens downtown

The buzz is building for a new bar lounge and events venue in Downtown Peterborough. The Twisted Wheel is the brainchild of Country105 morning man Mike Judson and Jonathan Hall, the former owner of Spanky’s, Splice, and the Trasheteria. Located at 379 Water Street between Simcoe and Hunter Street, the Twisted Wheel is being described as a venue for live music, a bar, a lounge, an event space. Expect to see anything from live vinyl DJ’s to art shows, fundraisers, standup comedy, live music and more. The Twisted Wheel is expected to open sometime this month...
