| - Stumbled across this spot while trying to take a break from the rain on a Sunday night. Wasn't sure what to expect, but we wanted a drink or two, and the menu on the outside looked promising. The country music playing worried us a bit, but the playlist transitioned into some classic hip hop which was more our speed. We sat at the bar and the super nice staff welcomed us and took our orders. Not too hungry, we just shared the Mile End Bangers: Homemade sausage, smashed potatoes, homemade ketchup, arugula, and fennel with some kind of sweet balsamic dressing maybe? Long story short, it was surprisingly really good. The homemade sausage tasted delicious, but the story was about everything surrounding it: the homemade ketchup tasted like some kind of tomato marmalade, the arugula with the balsamic was fresh and tasty, and the potatoes provided the perfect starchy balance. Clearly the folks in the kitchen care about what they're cooking. Also had a couple whiskys, enjoyed the quaint and slightly quirky ambience, and overall had a nice experience. Will definitely come back and try some of the other dishes!
