Haters gonna hate, and I hate recommending one of the Chain Gang to visiting friends and family. That being said, this location has some major perks for tourists.
It is undeniably central and near many hotels, The Eaton Centre, TO Tix (our sub-par version of NYC's Half Price Tix) and is housed in the same building as the multiplex formerly known as AMC.
This particular Jack Ass location has a massive (heated if necessary) patio overlooking Dundas Square. Dundas Square is similar to Times Square only lonelier and is often avoided by locals unless necessary for transit interchange. As a true lover of Toronto, I hate this area of the city. Toronto is so lovely when it's not trying to be New York or London, and this area is manufactured other world-class city diet piss. But, if you haven't seen it, you probably should.
Remember to Jack Up (poof! it's a double) your drinks, order the cheesy bread and chicken fingers and buy your movie tickets before going up to the restaurant so you don't have to go all the way back down 4 escalators. Enjoy the show.
PEPPER POINTS: For the cheesy bread. God, it's like crack soaked in heroin sprinkled with nicotine. Then topped with cheese.
