| - I'll start by agreeing with a previous reviewer's comment "I have no idea why this place got so many bad reviews!". I had been there a few times early in the year to watch a Raptors game and a CFL game, and it seemed like a nice enough place for a few drinks or some pub fare. It is rather low key, not really a sports bar, and definitely seems a more middle-aged neighbourhood crowd. The service is as expected, the bartender chats with the regulars, but is always around for refills or a food order. Apparently, there is also a lounge/party room upstairs which I never noticed before.
So for Labour Day, I dropped in to have the Monday $10 Chicken Parmesan special, and it was very good. The chicken was well-cooked, lots of cheese and tomato sauce, all on a nicely toasted bun with lots of fries on the side. Monday also features $4 rail drinks, so is a good day for me to go. Most days they have a $10 food special and some kind of drink special. I had the Sunday wing special when I went for the CFL game, and the wings were okay, but the chicken parmesan was much better.
Total for dinner and 3 drinks was $25, so that's a great deal. And as an added bonus, I bought some excellent fruits at the grocery next door as I left. I can definitely see myself going back for upcoming Sunday/Monday night NFL games.
