The Bishop & Belcher is a great little find when you're in the village and want some cheaper than average pints and decent pub food. Their menu is HUGE and although I've only sampled a few of their vegetarian entrees, my dining companions have always enjoyed their food. Nothing out of this world, mind you, but decent food.
My favourite things about this place:
- really great wait staff, very attentive and always willing to recommend something (and it's normally spot on!)
- the only patio i have ever found anywhere remotely near the gay village that had seats at pride
- big, comfortable, roomy patio
- board games!
Least favourite things:
- the beer selection has become more run of the mill lately
- the after work crowd sometimes give me odd looks when my friends and I talk very loudly about things that wouldn't garner a second glance just a few blocks south of there. however, this part is also kind of fun.
The food isn't so great so as to earn a special trip but if you're in the 'hood anyways it's worth checking out.
(Please note: if their beer selection gets anymore boring I may have to downgrade my review to three stars).
