Beer selection is great (as expected by the name.) Particularly good at mixing local and international beers - some of the best Toronto places lean heavily toward local, so it's nice to have an international draft selection that goes beyond Guiness and Hoegarten.
Ambiance is slick. The clientele descends from the nearby towers and nurses wounds sustained in the collapse of the derivatives market over a pint or six of Affligem. That said, I've also shown up here in jeans and the staff at coat check have put away my down parka without so much as a raised eyebrow.
The food is ok. The appetizers are better than the mains, and some are really, really good (baked mussels with goat cheese...mmm.) The soups are fantastic. I haven't been overwhelmed by the mains and usually end up ordering an appetizer or two instead. Some of these are too clever by half - duck confit corn dogs?
It does get really busy and loud here, and I like it much better at off-hours. Reservations help, especially on Thursday/Friday evening.
