| - The Dock Ellis is a wicked hipster sports bar just west of Ossington and Dundas with a wide selection of beer and cocktails, (surprisingly) tasty apps (for a sports bar, that is), and a fun mixed crowd. To compare this to Jack Astor's (Yonge and Bloor) and Scaddabush Italian Kitchen and Bar (Yonge and Gerrard), this place is in a league of its own!
You walk in and there's tons of tables for groups, perfect for 4-6 people. There's a foosball table, a pool table, shuffleboard, and 4-5 TV screens for the game. The service is quick and friendly and the kitchen is open concept.
-Don't mind the photos that another Yelper uploaded of the empty tables, this must have been a dead night- The night we came, it was pretty much packed, not too many people that you're shoulder to shoulder, but a bustling atmosphere.
Pro tip: There's even another huge room downstairs with a full bar that could easily hold 60 people. Would be a great place for a friends and family get-together or celebration.
The food is pretty tasty. I ordered the Wonton nachos with chorizo, cheese sauce, salsa, picked jalapeƱos, and cream. The portion was tiny, but it was delicious and was $5. My friend had the chicken wings brined and fried and the friggin' chicken wing was massive - could have been a prehistoric bird you'd see at the ROM!
We arrived at around maybe midnight and was lucky enough to catch a table. But the place seemed packed already. As for the crowd, there's a good mix of guys and gals there, and the noise was a bit loud, but hey, it's a sports bar.
Pro tip: Look no further, this is the best sports bar near Ossington and Dundas.
