I like Hitch, though it can be a little hit and miss some nights. There's either a big, loud crowd or the place is almost a ghost town. Being at the eastern end of the Leslieville strip on Queen means that you're far enough from the crowds at the bars around Queen & Broadview but you're still on Queen which draws in the culture for the area.
I've tried a couple of their different cocktails and my favourite by far is the Dark 'n Stormy. Its nice and spicy and they use Kraken rum which adds great flavour over a traditional dark rum.
