| - Really? Only 3.5 stars people? Huh...
This place is usually where I take uptown folks who need some downtown exposure because it's really what Toronto should be about - simple food with some subtle craziness, good booze selection, and a good buzz/crowd.
For those that don't read the interweb articles, Wvrst is nestled in the middle of the lounge/club district along King - which, by virtue of what it serves and how it serves it, makes it an interesting diamond in the rough. When you go inside, it can be a bit intimidating, especially if it's a Saturday night - as you have to order yourself (left side for booze and sausage, straight ahead for booze only). The crowd is not the usual group you'd see on their way to Cube down the street, or across at Jacobs - it's got some nice diversity: so while you'll spot the Bay St. yuppies, you'll also see a group of College kids. Once other thing - despite it being a sausage bar, there always seem to be a lot of women. Last time I was there I noticed a woman in the corner just casually eating a dog and downing a beer. Good for you!
Highlights? Duck fat fries for sure, bison, kangaroo, wild boar. Don't even bother with the traditional sausages - it's like ordering a milk in a bar - you know they can do it, but why don't you just get it from the corner store instead and stop wasting their time? One suggestion.... how about some really crazy Canadian sausages? e.g. moose, beaver, seal... anyone? anyone?
