| - *disclaimer* I am REALLY not into pubs or pub food, and I cannot even imagine a pub I would say "yay I am a fan" to.
Regardless of my anti-pub tendancies, this is a pretty decent pub. This is my neighborhood pub, which is more frequented by my SO and his friends than me, but I have still been known to pop in for a pint with them from time to time.
It really has a neighborhood feel, people are always walking in, smiling and approaching other tables to say hello. The server always recognizes us and asks us how we are doing, and there are always people chatting at the bar. Considering the clientele that frequent some of the other bars in the area (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/new-tasty-chicken-house-toronto#hrid:hvxg8zr7SAgaHMlm6hDf8Q/src:self) everyone here seems normal, friendly and ready for a good time.
The decor is fantastic (and I'm not just saying that because one of my bffs was involved in the design :) ) its all dark wood, deep burgundy, textures and bookshelves. Very cozy and homey.
pros
- they have a drink special every night of the week. Usually Creemore pints or something similar, but I like my drink specials.
- nice servers with fun accents
- comfy cozy decor
- half price pounds of wings and fries on wing night for the chicken eaters
- close to my house, they play sports on TV
- very neighborhood-y
cons
- nothing for vegetarians but expensive salads that sound uninspired
- nachos are made with flour tortilla not corn, which is a "unique" taste to say the least (blech)
- usually busy and hard to get a table for 4, it is small. Plenty of seating for "2s"
