  • I certainly can't stand idly by while a new local spot (and something the community has been waiting for) is being punished during their first week in operation due to some minor hiccups. Jeez, has anyone ever heard of opening day/week jitters. Folks, listen to me for a second, any of you who follow my reviews know that I'm not about a chain most of the time. Given the choice I did a mom and pop shop or indie biz over the big guys any day of the week. And because of this I tend to judge the chains harsher than others because they have the frame work, training manuals and money to be perfect, so if they're anything but that they really have no excuse. That being said, when a chain does something cool, original and outside the box, I gotta give them there due and Firkin On The Bay is doing just that. Something cool, different and exciting. I was in on Wednesday this week from 11am until about 5:30 pm working from the bar and got to observe their staff and operating procedures. First off the space is brilliant, it's almost a cartoon industrial look with expose fixtures and pipes only in bright fluorescent colors. Pair that with quirky fun graffiti, art and furniture all with a UK feel/vibe and it makes for an aesthetically cool place to be. The real winner here is the view of the Toronto skyline either from inside behind the floor to ceiling window, or from the wrap around patio out front. It's amazing by day so I can only imagine what it would look like at night. My server at the bar was on point with all key messaging, specials and solid menu recommendations. After having a Guinness to start my day I eventually ordered the butter chicken dish which was not exactly true butter chicken but a British pub inspired version. It was more of a butter chicken stew stop red curried mashed potatoes. As relish twist to an Indian classic. I really enjoyed the spin on this dish. I think it's important to remember that there will be small quirks and bumps in any businesses first week(s) and the point is to not skewer the business online but to accept that this is a normal thing and to come back in a few weeks to get a better sense for the true experience. Eatcrest Out!
