The interior of the restaurant, at Gerrard Street andCarlawAvenue, is nearly unrecognizablewith its tables and chairs stowed away and instead, filled with dozens of dancers, many of whom were cast in Toronto.

Rihanna released a steamy snippet of the video on Friday.

Lily Pottinger, who co-owns the Real Jerk with her husband, said their restaurant was decked out to look like a club and several of the dancers were Riverdale residents.

"He really looks out for his Toronto people," she said of Drake,following the shoot.

The restaurant, which Drake often visits, was closed for a day and a half to accommodate the shoot earlier this month.
