Jack Astor's is a Canadian restaurant chain with branches in Canada and New York City. They are specialized on pub food with an international touch, which you can enjoy in a casual atmosphere.
The branch close to St. Lawrence Market has an outside patio, large bar and restaurant area. They serve local and Canadian brews and have a quite attentive and friendly staff.
I really liked the music they played, which can be described as mainstream rock & pop and the laidback vibe.
Though the menu offers good fish, wok creations and steak dishes I went for the Smoky Jack's burger with their house salad and was not disappointed. The burger was juicy and the salad crisp, just what I needed after a long day of sightseeing.
As mentioned before they serve local brews such as Mill Street Brewery and Hop City. Try the Barking Squirrel Lager (Hop City), which is more like a red ale and very drinkable.
