Aside from the awesome atmosphere this bar has far surprised my every expectation of a bar.
After taking my bar tending courses and getting my certification (or whatever you want to call it) and then not getting a job I got really picky about the drinks I was served. I would purposely try and make bartenders blunder so I could be like "looks like you could use a competent bartender" (which I am probably far from lacking any practical real-life experience). But that was me trying to get a job!
When I stumbled into this place I immediately felt comfortable. Like I said the atmosphere was great but the bartenders were all so friendly and quick witted at that I was really amazed.
Upon my first visit I asked for a tall amaretto sour (surprisingly a drink that other bartenders too often screw up) and they got it right. So on my next visit I ordered something else special and so on and so on. Eventually I learned that you just can't fool their bartenders. And it was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. After all these years of having incompetent bar tenders. God shone his light down upon this little pub and said "let there be delicious drinks! [that are made right, and made by costumer oriented individuals]".
Either way check it out. Among my top 5 bars in Toronto.
