For me this is the sort of place that reminds me of a good time, I don't think it has much to do with the actual place it self but its the closest pub for us west-enders.
The service here is okay, the food is okay, the drinks are good except when you order a mixed drink which is always a hit or miss depending on who is making it.
I do think it is overpriced for pub food, but perhaps Bloor West has expensive rent?
The best part of this place is their second floor patio which has heaters in the winter as well.
