| - Known by some as Toronto's official "Cougar Bar," I was first introduced to Chick N Deli many years ago while visiting from out of town. When I moved into the Yonge and Eglinton area a year and a half ago, I was delighted to find that this place was still alive and kick N and, more surprisingly, so were the regulars!
I've been back a few times since moving into the area and it's been a sufficiently good time that I'm cringing while writing this, in fear that I may be spilling my neighbourhood's best kept secret. The bar lives up to its reputation - the demographic in here is distinctly over-40 - but without the stigmatic, lecherous, cradle-robbing one might expect at first blush.
My friends and I keep going back for the music. It's a pretty good variety, with a lot of 80s and 90s delivered by live bands on weekends (can't speak for weeknights). The bands are always very talented, the volume is kept reasonable and the crowd is not the type you need to worry about getting into fights with. A totally danceable scene even if you're, say, me.
