| - Solid two star establishment. Although I only visited the bar so I cannot comment on the food. Came in on a Saturday night around 10:30. They had a good crowd inside, watching sports, playing pool etc. They had long tables to sit and enjoy drinks, but most people just threw their coats/scarfs on the chairs and lingered around the bar, which left a bunch of empty seats that were "taken". I'm not from the area and was visiting, but the vibe I got was that most, if not all, patrons were regulars who frequented the bar in large groups. I approached the bar with one other guest and it was a struggle to get the bartender's attention. Not because he was busy, but the people at the bar who were just hanging out, not placing a drink order, seemed to be more important. I'm a patient patron, and I understand when workers are too busy or overwhelmed to serve me, but that was not what was going on here. Once we finally flagged someone down, my friend ordered a bottled beer - can't mess that up - and I got a vodka soda, which tasted like vodka with water. It came in a small glass, loaded with ice and no straw, which made it difficult to drink/stir. We spotted out a couch near the entrance where we drank our drinks rather quickly so we could continue down Dundas for some better options. Two stars for the cheap drinks.
