| - Having visited Ronnie's a total of 4 times, I believe it's now time for a review. First, to summarize:
- At my 1st visit, I was on their patio with a dining out social Group; I had 2 bottles of Moosehead to drink.
- At my 2nd visit, I was on their patio with 2 friends; I had Blood Brothers' Brett IPA to drink.
- At my 3rd visit, I was inside with another dining out social Group; I had Blood Brothers' Shumei to drink.
- At my 4th visit, I was inside with a 'Downtown cool bars' social Group; I had O'Hara's Irish Stout to drink.
I've quite enjoyed all 4 of my visits to the venue. The service is quite prompt and the venue, while pretty small inside, is supplemented by their not too small front patio, which is almost always packed on a nice day. Considering that it's in Kensington Market, it's not an upscale venue but does have quite a bit of character. They have a really great beer selection and they are one of those venues which allows you to bring in outside food - in fact, The Grilled Cheese, another venue across the street, used to (and maybe still does) allow patrons to order take-out from them and they will actually deliver your order to you at Ronnie's. It can get loud inside due to the size of the venue, the no. of patrons inside and the volume/type of music playing but it does tend to draw a younger clientele which generally doesn't mind the volume level.
If you're looking for a quality drinking establishment in the neighbourhood, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.
