| - Betty's has become a local watering hole (and really it's what it is) for George Brown College students at the Sherbourne and King intersection.
After taking a couple of journalism classes, it became a local for fellow students, teachers and other writerly friends. It's a great place to come with a group. There's large tables, a booth and a lot of historical decor including a notice for the Betty Ford centre.
The service is quick and consistent. For the most part, it's friendly but sometimes the waitresses have a bad day (and if someone ripped you off, you would too). Jeff, the male waiter, is great. He's always smiling.
The food is OK. OK as in sometimes their burrito dip is runny; other times, it's cooked. Their wings and nachos are great. But this is a pub, not Canoe so I'm not expecting high end grub. For the most part, we're drinking and they have a variety of brews available (including my trusty Heineken in a bottle).
I have spotted Project Runway Canada alum here including Shawn Hewson and Evan Biddell. (Surprising!).
In the summer, there's a large back patio, again, suitable for groups. It's a great alternative to The Distillery District or after walking in the Distillery District.
