Oak and Thorne is a part of RDM Hospitality, which owns and operates multiple establishments throughout Metro Vancouver that were formerly owned by the JRG Group, like S+L Kitchen, The Italian Osteria, and The Henry. Dished reached out to JRG to see if they were involved in the creation of this new hospitality group.
Once closed, Oak and Thorne encouraged fans of the bar to visit The Henry at 5708 176 St., Surrey.
